Explosions in Iran
Stratfor reports this morning that there have been more bombings in southwestern Iran, which is the part of the country with the highest concentration of Arabs.
Are these guys blowing stuff up entirely on their own, or is somebody helping them?
Two blasts rocked the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz at the same time Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was scheduled to visit Jan. 24, though Ahmadinejad reportedly cancelled the visit a day earlier due to bad weather. State television said one explosive device detonated in front of a private bank, killing six people and injuring 15, while the second explosion, in front of a government natural resources office, injured nine.

I doubt it's self inflicted. Maybe once, but not multiple times, as they've recently experienced.
It's not a bad guess to suggest some sunni arab groups (iraqis), some wahhabi groups (saudis), or maybe some kurds.
It's about time the iranians got a taste of their own medicine. It's a sign that Iraq is getting back on its feet, too.

Although help from inside, US or Britain would be fine. I would love it to find out it was Iraq.
