TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian authorities arrested four people in connection with a car bomb attack on an Iranian military bus in the southeastern Iranian border town of Zahedan Wednesday morning, state-run IRINN television reported.

The blast left behind a charred, blood-splattered frame along with at least 18 dead and others wounded, state-run Iranian news agency IRNA reported.

Iran's semi-official FARS news agency reported four people in a car cut off the bus, which belonged to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, around 6:30 am (10 p.m. ET) and sped away on two motorcycles -- later detonating the explosives by remote control.

FARS reported two of the arrested may be affiliated with a small terrorist group that has a history of attacking Iranian border posts.
