Embassy Attacked After Muslim Cleric Executed
The Saudi embassy in Tehran has come under attack from petrol bomb throwers amid a backlash against the execution of a prominent Shia cleric.
Video footage posted on Twitter shows Molotov cocktails hitting the front of the mission and other pictures posted since appear to show the building on fire. There was fierce criticism of Saudi Arabia after it executed 47 people at prisons around the country including Nimr al Nimr. Pictures posted on social media showed what appeared to be troops moving into Saudi areas where the Shia minority were due to protest. However, Mr Nimr's brother called for a "peaceful" response to the execution, saying the family did not want to see further bloodshed. The United States warned Saudi Arabia, which has a Sunni Muslim majority, that its execution of Mr Nimr "risks exacerbating sectarian tensions." The list of those executed did not include Mr Nimr's nephew, Ali al Nimr, who was 17 when he was arrested in 2012.

Tweets appear to show Iranian protesters storming Saudi embassy
DUBAI, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Images shared on social media early on Sunday morning appeared to show Iranian protesters breaking into Saudi Arabia's embassy in Tehran and starting fires, after gathering there to denounce the kingdom's execution of a Shi'ite cleric.
One photograph, posted on Twitter, showed protesters outside the embassy building with small fires burning inside, while another showed a room with smashed furniture purportedly inside the building. Reuters could not immediately verify the images, some of which were posted by correspondents at Iranian news agencies and newspapers. Soon afterwards, more tweets showed what appeared to be police clearing the protesters from the embassy. (Reporting by Sam Wilkin; Editing by Kevin Liffey) View Quote |

Attack on embassy is direct result |

Glad I got out of the KSA, I fucking hated working there and most of the Saudis I met were fucking arrogant lazy pricks except for maybe one or two that had been in the military and spent a good amount of time training in the USA.
Fuck that country! Yes I did see a be-heading while there, don't know why I went, morbid curiosity got the best of me. |

SO, what's the over/under on how many days before the Saudis announce they've assembled their nukes?

The Iranian faction in Yemen is being rolled up,quite bloodily: Bahrain lost an F-16 there yesterday. This is all part of the greater war going on;IS is just sort of a sideshow.

It's kind of tough for the average American to imagine, that Islam isn't monolithic. They hate each other almost as much as they hate us.
The region is so incredibly fucked up. How do you unfuck a problem that's been around for a thousand years? |

By the way the fucking Iranians do have a fixation issue with embassies....so it would seem?

unconfirmed reports KSA embassy in Baghdad is being bombed. |
|

I just got back from Baghdad. Hair trigger shit over there with Iranian controlled Shia militia just chomping at the bit to come after us again. And I think the Saudis literally just reopened their embassy there. Iranian puppet Shia militias going after the Saudis, no surprise there. And its not like the Shia Government of Iraq is going to keep the Shia militias from fucking with the Saudis.

I propose we offer a counter riot or perhaps a riot challenge!
I say we put up some of our best rioters from Baltimore, Detroit or Chicago. Have a throw down as some middle eastern soccer stadium. Supply some old tires. Some bottles & gasoline. Mock up a store front with a bunch of big screens, hair weaves & malt liquor. Send in a Riot Dream Team! Offer up EBT cards and a shoe deal to the winners. |

Hey, we got Hezballah fighting ISIS who is fighting AQ who are fighting Asad. We got two countries (Syria and Iran) that have caused the death of at least hundred of Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sounds like a perfect storm; why muck it up.They thought they had the dog on the leash and then it turned around and bit them. We need to get out of there. Protect the Kurds, if you want to do a Kinetic campaign do it from Kurdistan. But get the fuck out of Iraq. And stop giving them a $1,000,000,000 a month for christ's sake. Lets bankrupt the Iranians (and maybe the Russians also); let them pay the bill.
And mark my words; the Iranian controlled militias will start attacking US Forces in Iraq as soon as they get enough help to them thinking they can finish the job on their own. |
