ImageTEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned a senior Pakistani diplomat in Tehran following Sunday's deadly attack on the Revolutionary Guards in a volatile southeastern area close to Pakistan, state television reported.

"Iran's Foreign Ministry says there is evidence the perpetrators of this attack came to Iran from Pakistan," Press TV reported. "The Pakistani official assured Tehran that his country would take all measures to secure its border with Iran."

Iran has in the past accused Pakistan of hosting members of the Sunni insurgent Jundollah group, Press TV said. Iranian state media say Jundollah claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombing, which killed around 30 people.
