The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards criticized Pakistan for providing support to terrorists who killed 27 personnel in a suicide bomb attack in southeast Iran this week.

Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Pakistan’s government was sheltering groups behind the Wednesday attack and “had to be held accountable for the crime,” the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported. The attack coincided with a U.S.-led summit in Warsaw focused on rallying support against Iran.
