Iran blames deadly bomb attack near Pakistan border on ‘terrorist group’ enemies
[IsraelTimes] A kaboom Sunday killed one person and maimed three in southeastern Iran, a state news agency reported, blaming a "terrorist group" linked to Tehran’s enemies.

The attack occurred at about 9:30 am local time (0600 GMT) in Saravan city, the site of recent violence, in the restive Sistan-Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
province.

A group "linked to global arrogance," a phrase often used in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

Sistan-Balochistan straddles the border with Pakistain and has a large, mainly Sunni ethnic Baluch population.

The province has long been a flashpoint for cross-border attacks by separatists and Sunni bully boys. A Sunni separatist group affiliated with al-Qaeda and known as Jeish al-Adl, or Army of Justice, operates in the area.

The area is one of the least developed and poorest parts of Iran.

Sistan and Balochistan province is a well-worn trafficking route for drugs and petrol and has been the scene of occasional festivities between Iranian government forces and various turban groups.

The Sunday attack came almost a month after deadly festivities with fuel smugglers in Sistan-Balochistan left two people dead, including a policeman in Saravan, according to Iranian authorities.

The UN Human Rights Office said at least 12 people were reportedly killed, two of them minors, and accused Iranian security forces of using excessive force.

But little information filtered out due to a near-total shutdown of the internet with activists saying the government uses the tactic repeatedly when protests erupt.

The internet shutdown was a "measure authorities appear to be using as a tool to conceal gross human rights
