23 Dead in a Suicide Attack on Iran's Revolutionary Guard

A suicide bombing was carried out on a bus containing members of the Iranian Revolutionary guard on Wednesday, killing at least 23 and wounding 17. Separatist group, Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for the attack which took place near the border with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Iran officials are claiming they will seek revenge on the group. Since Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, US sanctions have crippled Iran's economy, causing an increased amount of tension throughout the nation.
