Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Saturday political plotters and intelligence services of certain bullying powers are responsible for the recent terrorist attack in Iran's southeastern city of Zahedan.

'Sparking sedition, riot and fratricide among Muslims of the regional countries and in our dear country has always been an everlasting goal of the enemies of the Islamic Republic,' Ayatollah Khamenei said in a message of condolence to the Iranian nation on the recent terrorist attack in Zahedan.

'And it is just through public vigilance and officials' follow-ups that such political blackguardism and viciousness can be foiled'  he added.

The Leader urged officials and political and security officers to ensure security of the people through vigilance and serious efforts and bring those responsible to justice.

Ayatollah Khamenei also expressed his condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of the recent terrorist attack in Zahedan, and prayed for the healing of the injured.

A bomb planted in a Shiite mosque in the city of Zahedan was detonated on Thursday where people had gathered to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of the daughter of the prophet of Islam, Hazrat Fatimah (PBUH). The explosion killed 25 people and injured 125 others.

Three terrorists were hanged on Saturday after being arrested by local residents and security forces and following interrogations in the province's general intelligence department.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also sent a message of condolence for the people of Zahedan, and called for officials to detect the dirty hands behind the attack and start punishment of the elements involved in the terrorist attack.

Ahmadinejad assured in his message that the Shiite and Sunni brothers will thwart plots of the enemies and will not let foreigners create division among them.
