Iranian protesters ransacked and set fire to
the Saudi Embassy in Tehran on Saturday
after Saudi Arabia executed an outspoken
Shiite cleric who had criticized the
kingdom’s treatment of its Shiite minority.
The cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, was among
47 men executed in Saudi Arabia on
terrorism-related charges, drawing
condemnation from Iran and its allies in the
region, and sparking fears that sectarian
tensions could rise across the Middle East.
The executions coincided with increased
attacks in Saudi Arabia by the jihadists of
the Islamic State and an escalating rivalry
between the Sunni monarchy and Shiite Iran
that is playing out in conflicts in Syria,
Yemen and elsewhere. Sheikh Nimr was an
outspoken critic of the Saudi monarchy and
was adopted as a symbolic leader by Shiite
protesters in several Persian Gulf countries
during the Arab Spring uprisings.
Saudi officials said the mass execution, one
of the largest in the kingdom in decades,
was aimed at deterring violence against the
state. But analysts said that the grouping of
Sheikh Nimr with hardened jihadists was a
warning to domestic dissidents that could
ripple across the region.

al-Nimr, a Shiite cleric, on Saturday in
Bahrain during a protest against his
execution.

Somebody should tell our President Buhari that Nigeria can't withstand Iran wrath.

The earlier he release El-Zakzaky the better for us, if he eventually dies in prison...............

I like the position Iran currently occupies in world politics. She is a beacon of hope to other developing countries. Saudi Arabia will come to pay a high price for being intolerant; that, I'm sure of.
