Now being reported that there were two separate attacks and bombs.

Link

The first attack took place at a unity gathering of Shia and Sunni tribal leaders on Sunday morning, in the Pishin area, a region situated in the borderline Province of Sistan-Balouchestan.

At around the same time, another group of IRGC commanders were caught in an explosion as their convoy came under attack at a road junction in Pishin- a region situated between the two towns of Sarbaz and Chabahar.

Reported up to 60 killed now. Looks like diplomacy time is just about over.

Keep in mind that the source you are quoting (#28) is PressTV (the IRI media outlet).

Sarbaz and Chabahar have been for many years, even during the Shah’s era, hotbeds of “less-than-desirable” activities.

Jundallah has over the year & up til now been linked to MeK, the West (incl. U.S./EU), Saudi Arabia, drug barons of Pakistan & Afghanistan, and even the Shia Government of Iran, by a variety of groups & people, depending on their personal and political orientation.

Whose diplomacy? A view is that Obama may even take a deeper bow next time he is granted an audience with the King at the House of Saud.
