TEHRAN, Apr. 25, 2009 (Reuters) — Iran's top authority said on Saturday that U.S. forces were "the main suspects" in bomb attacks that killed dozens of Iranian pilgrims in Iraq this week.
"The main suspects in this crime and crimes similar to that, are American security and military forces," Khamenei said in a statement about two bombings in Iraq on Thursday and Friday.
Quoted by state media, he said "evil hands and minds" had established "blind and uncontrollable terrorism" in Iraq.

so do you think Iran will retaliate in some way? and further more do you think this was set up by the USA to get Iran to strike back, or some kind of retaliation to justify the USA/Israel going into war with Iran.
its been on the Agenda for a long time, we all knew it was hanging on the edge with the smallest push sending it over
could this be the first step towards an USA/Israel war on Iran?
especially with this Swine Flu "Outbreak" which i find complete bollocks and i think it's either man made, or purposely set out to infect the masses... could it be a distraction for what could happen with Iran?
it's all smoke and mirrors anyway

In the second day in a row of heavy violence in Iraq, at least 60 people died Friday when two suicide bombers detonated within seconds of each other outside a Shiite Muslim shrine in Baghdad.
Violence in Iraq has been creeping up steadily since March or so. In Baghdad alone, there have been at least 35 explosions so far this month.
More than 80 people died in two suicide attacks Thursday, one in Baghdad and another in the northeastern province of Diyala. The resurgent sectarian violence is raising concerns that security in Iraq is deteriorating just as the United States prepares to draw down its forces and shift its focus to the deteriorating conditions in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Several victims and witnesses said they blamed the recent bombings on al-Qaida in Iraq. The U.S. military has said it thinks that the group's ability to carry out major attacks has been reduced severely, but the renewed violence could indicate otherwise.
"The source of this is well-known," said Ali Faisel, 33. "It's al-Qaida. They want to provoke sectarian problems and ruin the security situation."
Witnesses said at least one of the bombers was female, and that she shouted, "God is great," in Arabic just before detonating.
