Iran has in the past, accused Pakistan of hosting members of the Sunni insurgent Jundollah group, Press TV said.
State television reported a group named Jundollah (Soldiers of God) had claimed responsibility for the attack.
Jundollah is thought to be the main criminal group in the region which has been involved in frequent clashes with Iranian guards at the border lines to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Thirteen Jundollah members were executed last July in the provincial capital Zahedan. Abdol-Hamid Rigi, the brother of the group's leader Abdolmalik Rigi, is on death row.
