Iran Warns U.S., U.K. of Retaliation After Attack
fox news ^ | October 19, 2009

The chief of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard said Monday that a Sunni rebel group blamed for a deadly attack on the force was linked to U.S., British and Pakistani intelligence, an Iranian news agency reported.

"Behind this scene are the American and British intelligence apparatus and there will have to be retaliatory measures to punish them," Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said.

The reaction comes after a homicide bomber killed five senior commanders in the Guard and at least 37 others in an area of southeastern Iran that has been the focus of a growing Sunni insurgency.

Earlier Monday, an Iranian MP raised the prospect of a possible military operation into Pakistan against the group blamed for the attack on the Guard.

They don't like it much when their tactics come back to bite them.

With this type of response, some real big shots must have bit the dust.

Iran reminds me of a child throwing a tantrum in the sandbox when one of the other kids takes his shovel. Actually, that’s the whole Islamic world really.

The Iran Guard has been shipping and escorting Iran arsenal marked IEDs into Iraq and Afghanistan for a decade or more, and often conducting instruction courses on how to fabricate, arm and implant them to the jihadists,

Now they get a taste of their own medicine and they go ballistic? The Baluchis have their number and now will lay it on.

As to US and Brit involvent, it is doubtful, the Mossad more likely.I hope the Baluchis blow up a whole division of the Iran Guard. What a bunch of whiney poofters.

Yeah, Obama will get so wee-wed up . that he will order such activities halted, while he tries to get them to talk. ( "Several of the Iran guard are dead? Lets talk about it!" Yeah right.)

We should NEVER cross the Baluchis. If we do, we will loose the only military ally in the whole area.Obama would do well to start supplying them.They will be sorely needed in years to come.

Two alternate possibilities that I’ve not seen mentioned in these threads —

1) A purge or internal power grab

or

2) A ‘false flag’ provocation to give Iran some perceived leverage in the ‘nuclear’ talks...

Taking things at face value, where Iran is concerned, is a tricky proposition.....

I figure with all the unprovoked, pre-emptive ‘retaliations’ Iran has carried out over the last 30 years on the western world, this one should be a freebee and Iran should just eat one for a change.
