Well, this was probably inevitable. Via Hot Air Headlines:
Suicide bomber kills 30 in attack on Iran’s GuardsA suicide bomber blew himself up at a meeting of the elite Revolutionary Guards in southeastern Iran Sunday, killing at least 30 people including top commanders and tribal leaders, a senior official said.
The attack took place in the city of Pisheen near the border with Pakistan in restive Sistan-Baluchestan province, which hosts a substantial Sunni population, local news agencies said.
Do enough digging into the various accusations of who was responsible and you’ll discover that they’re actually all claiming that the CIA did it; because, of course, the American government is eager to wreck a regional meeting in a country that we’re trying to engage with diplomatically, using tactics that would guarantee impeachment proceedings being initiated against the President once we caught him doing it*. I mention this because the Iranian regime is happily blaming the US for this attack anyway, which should (but won’t) demonstrate the futility of our actually negotiating with said regime with any hope of good faith on their part…

*Seriously. Name a Democrat willing to defend the USA using suicide bombers. And name a CIA agent willing to carry out an operation like this without a signed pardon from the President.

Two coordinated attacks with excellent intel and prep. There were rumors that Khameni was in a coma or dead. It is definite that he collapsed and is in a hospital. I wonder if either the army or the clerics decided to take the first shot in a war of succession. Decapitating the RG to prevent them taking over would be a first step.
