The hell between Saudi and Iran
January 4 2016 By Abiodun Giwa
"What is the hell that is happening between Saudi Arabia and Iran?" News report says that Saudi Arabia has executed about 50 terrorists or suspected terrorists and that among them are Sunni and Shiite Moslems and that one of the executed terrorists, Ayatollah Baqir al-Nimr, is a popular Iranian cleric. The rightful or wrongful killing of an Ayatollah has turned into a hell between the Saudis and the Iranians.
News report says that Iran has vowed to avenge the killing of its popular Ayatollah. Resultantly the diplomatic relationship between the Saudi Arabia and Iran has broken down. Is the popular Iranian cleric really a terrorist? When was he arrested and where was he tried? People are saying that not many people are aware of the arrest and trial, because the Saudi Arabia legal system is not open. But there are news reports that have described the cleric as a harsh critic of the Saudi Arabia's government and that he is not a terrorist.
Meanwhile, following the execution in Saudi Arabia, angry Iranians have descended on the Saudi Arabia's embassy in Tehran and they have sacked embassy. The Saudi Arabian authorities have told the Iranian diplomats in the country to leave. The United States, China and Russia have asked for restraint from both side in the conflict, saying that a breakdown in diplomacy should not be allowed, telling the two countries that they will still require diplomacy to resolve whatever the difference that may have caused the gash in their relationship.
Saudi Arabia like its counterpart in the conflict is not soft-pedaling. It has accused Iran of sponsoring terrorism or supporting terrorism and some analysts are saying that the execution of the terrorists is a what the Saudi Arabia has chosen to show Iran that it doesn't condone terrorism.
Of course the fear of another big crisis in the gulf is real. Some people are saying that they hope this doesn't lead to another shooting war, in which the super powers would be expected to take sides. They are saying that they don't care if there is going to be a breakdown in diplomacy between Saudi and Iran as long as it doesn't lead to another war in the gulf.
People are shocked that Saudi Arabia considered the home of the Islamic religion has accused another Islamic country of encouraging terrorism and that the trouble has come home to roost with Moslems accusing themselves of terrorism and that the world can now see that terrorism is no longer a case of some bad guys using the religion to commit atrocities. People now think that that there is a need to find out why people from that region believe it is right to kill innocent people to avenge alleged wrongs or challenge alleged abuses.
