I am sure the plummeting price of oil only accentuates the love Iran and Saudi Arabia have for one another.
Just the other day, The House of Saud executed 47 people, most likely by decapitation or some other primitative, primordial method of death. One of those lads was a cleric who only wanted to lead a bunch of lunatics in Saudi Arabia to SECEED (lolz) from the Kingdom.
As you could imagine, this was unacceptable to the holy men who walk around in robes in Mecca.
Iran’s ambassador in the kingdom has 48 hours to leave the country, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said late on Sunday in Riyadh.
Iranian protesters armed with rocks and firebombs attacked the Saudi embassy in Tehran on Saturday and set parts of the building on fire after the execution of Nimr al-Nimr, a critic of the kingdom’s treatment of its Shiite minority. He was one of 47 men executed by Saudi Arabia for offenses that included terrorism and political activism.
Al-Nimr’s execution is the latest crisis to rock ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia, two regional powers vying for everything from political influence to oil market share.
The attack on the embassy is “a violation of all international treaties,” al-Jubeir said. “Iran’s history is full with negative interference in Arab affairs.”
Iran’s response was a very typical one: holy leader goes nuts, “students” raid embassy and burn it to the ground.
Comments »“The divine hand of revenge will take the Saudi politicians by the throat,” Khamenei, Iran’s highest authority, said on Sunday. Cleric Nimr al-Nimr “was neither encouraging people to armed protests, nor plotting secretly, all he did was to openly criticize,” said Khamenei, who frequently lashes out at Saudi rulers.
