Tensions have been escalating between
Saudi Arabia and
Iran. The
Saudis recently executed a
Shiite cleric and in response, angry
Iranians responded by wrecking the
Saudi embassy in Iran.
Cenk Uygur, host of the
The Young Turks, breaks it down.
Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Saudi Arabia cut ties with Iran on Sunday, responding to the storming of its embassy in
Tehran in an escalating row between the rival
Middle East powers over
Riyadh's execution of a
Shi'ite Muslim cleric.
Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told a news conference in Riyadh that the envoy of
Shi'ite Iran had been asked to quit Saudi Arabia within 48 hours.
The kingdom, he said, would not allow the
Islamic republic to undermine its security.
Iranian protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran early on Sunday and Shi'ite Iran's top leader,
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, predicted "divine vengeance" for the execution of
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, an outspoken opponent of the ruling Al
Saudi family.”*
