Eleven people have been killed in a bomb blast near a bus in city of Zahedan in south-eastern Iran, the official Irna news agency has reported.

The bomb, hidden in a car, targeted members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the agency said, although it is unclear if all the dead belonged to the guard.

Qassim Rezai, a military commander, described the act as "terrorism" and blamed "rebels".

Recent attacks have been blamed on the Sunni Jundallah (Allah's Brigade).

Correspondents say an attack of this size and nature is unprecedented in Iran - hitting an elite force in daylight in an open street.
