Iran blames "foreign elements" for attack on Guards

Iran's Revolutionary Guards accused "foreign elements" linked to the United States of involvement in Sunday's attack that killed at least two senior commanders of the elite force, Reuters reported according to state television.

"Surely foreign elements, particularly those linked to the global arrogance, were involved in this attack," a Guards statement quoted by television said. Iran often uses the term "global arrogance" to refer to the United States, its old foe.
