Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran would not allow "arrogant powers" to obtain their objectives.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has accused the United States of supporting the recent bombings in the southeastern city of Zahedan to stir up religious dissension within the Islamic republic, state media said Wednesday.
"One of the main objectives the enemy pursued through the terrorist attack in Iran's southeastern city of Zahedan was to create division and religious dissension," Khamenei said, according to Press TV.
At least 27 people were killed in a pair of suicide bombings July 15 outside the Zahedan Grand Mosque in Sistan-Baluchestan province. Other Iranian leaders, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have already blamed the United States for the attacks.
Khamenei said Iran would not allow "arrogant powers" to obtain their objectives and urged Iranians to confront the enemies of their country, Press TV said.
[Iran] is now the target of the evil conspiracies of the intelligence services of the U.S., the Zionist regime (Israel) and Britain.
--Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
"Their animosity with the Islamic republic stems from Iran's adherence to Islam and its repeated call for unity, strength and Islamic dignity," he said.
"[Iran] is now the target of the evil conspiracies of the intelligence services of the U.S., the Zionist regime (Israel) and Britain, who falsely believe that Iran will become entangled in religious dissension and Shiite-Sunni conflict."
The Iranian extremist group Jundallah, also known as the People's Resistance Movement of Iran, claimed responsibility for the bombings in an announcement on its official website.
In the past, the Shiite government in Tehran has accused Jundallah of fomenting unrest in Sistan-Baluchistan province and alleged that the United States and Saudi Arabia are funding the group.
Jundallah says it is fighting for the rights of Sunni Muslims in the country.

Khamenei: USA, Britain and Israel behind terror attack
Published Today - 13:57 GMT
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Wednesday said the intelligence services of the US, Israel and Britain were the main supporters of the recent terrorist attacks in Iran. "One of the main objectives the enemy pursued through the terrorist attack in Iran's southeastern city of Zahedan was to create division and religious dissension," Khamenei said was quoted as saying by PressTV.
A total of 27 people were killed and more than 100 others were injured after two bombs went off in quick succession outside the Zahedan Grand Mosque in Sistan-Baluchestan Province late last Thursday.
Khamenei stressed that Iran would not allow arrogant powers to obtain their objectives and urged all Iranian officials to "firmly and seriously" confront the enemies of the country's solidarity and security. "Their animosity with the Islamic Republic stems from Iran's adherence to Islam and its repeated call for unity, strength and Islamic dignity," he said.
Khamenei also urged all Muslims to fight terrorism, saying it is an "ominous offspring" and a "clear sample of Moharebeh (waging war on God)."

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Today is the seventh day of the martyrdom of a group of our faithful and sincere fellow countrymen in Zahedan by bloodthirsty murderers and terrorists. In this bloody event, the evil and criminal hand of prejudiced and misguided Wahhabis - who were supported by foreign espionage organizations - left families and hearts bereaved, hearts that had been enlightened by the light of love and respect for the Holy Prophet's (s.w.a.) household and purified by the light of pure knowledge and monotheism.
Blind, ignorant and criminal bigots put their misguided heart and dark nature at the service of the corrupt powers who have proven their enmity towards Islam and Muslims on numerous occasions, and they have shown their enmity and spite towards Muslims and have struck blows whenever and wherever they could.
Their enmity towards the Islamic Republic is because of the flag of Islam that has been raised in this country and the Islamic Republic's constant call to unity and Islamic power and glory. In this bloody event and similar events, one of the goals of the enemies is to foment discord among Muslims.
The Islamic Republic that has been the biggest and the most reliable supporter of oppressed Muslims in Gaza, Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir and other Muslim areas is now the target of this evil plot hatched by the espionage organizations of America, the Zionist regime and England which wrongly believe they will involve Iran in religious fitna and Shia-Sunni confrontation. They are unaware of the fact that Sunni Muslims in Islamic Iran have frequently proven their loyalty to this sacred Islamic system just like their Shia brothers, and they have bravely and faithfully stood up against the arrogant powers and their mercenaries to defend the Islamic Republic and their dear homeland.
Basically, the emergence and spread of brutal and blind terrorism in our region is the result of the evil policies of the US, Britain and their governmental and non-governmental mercenaries. All Muslims must oppose and fight against this sinister phenomenon which is a clear manifestation of corruption on earth and war against God.
All Sunni denominations of Iran as well as those of the neighboring countries - particularly Sunni religious scholars, intellectuals and academics - whose Islamic reputation has been targeted by these evil policies shoulder a heavier responsibility in this regard. Shia and Sunni scholars of Islamic and Arab countries should clarify for everyone the evil intentions which the enemies pursue through establishing and supporting sectarian terrorism. And they should warn them against the great danger of creating religious fitnas, which is what the enemies desire.
By Allah's permission, the Islamic Republic will not allow the elements of the global arrogance to create discord among Muslim brothers under such names as Wahhabism.
The organizations in charge in all the three government branches must seriously oppose these enemies of security and unity of the country and penalize those who are behind these fitnas. The faithful and pure-hearted people should also stay calm, maintain their insight, and avoid any extremist moves. And they should help the officials of the country fulfill their duties.
I send my regards to the souls of the dear martyrs of the bloody event in Zahedan, who were martyred on the birth anniversary of Imam Hussein (a.s.). I also extend my sympathy to the dear and honorable families of these martyrs and pray to God to bestow patience, forbearance and rewards on the families of these martyrs. I also earnestly pray to Allah to aid the recuperation of the innocent people who were injured during this attack.
Greetings be upon Allah's pious servants

I agree with you regarding Iran. As they claim to foster universal brotherhood of Muslims, they should have helped Taliban against USA. After all they were Muslims and Americans were enemies of both. But they did the opposite. They supported a Christian power instead of Sunni rivals. Kahan Ka Islam aur islami inquilaab.
