(SALEM, Ore.) - Only one day lapsed after a highly controversial execution, before Saudi Arabia’s claimed to cut off political ties with Iran, Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi Foreign Minister at the UN Security Council said, "We are ready to restore relations, if Iran stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries."

The statement was issue at a time, when Western powers also condemned the execution of Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr and reproached the Saudi regime over this act over which the House of Saud chose to hastily cut diplomatic ties with Iran.

The Saudi regime tried to entitle the mass execution of its own nationals "normal and rightful" and asked its allies to cut their political relations with Iran. Yet practically, all of the countries not only condemned the sanguinary execution in Saudi Arabia, they also refused to confront Iran diplomatically. Sudan, which is run by financial support of Saudi Arabia, and the small state of Djibouti cut their political relations with Iran.

Bahrain's government that Iran has already cut its political relationship with it last one year, can also be considered one of Saudi regime’s allies along with the regime of Israel.
