Saudi Arabia Suspect in Revenge Attacks Against Iran

(SALEM, Ore.) - When the Saudi government executed Shiite Muslim scholar Nimr al-Nimr for objecting, along with a number of other Saudi citizens, to the country's discriminatory policies, an International and regional wave of opposition formed against the regime's leaders.

Iran's government has increasingly condemned the Saudi regime's methods and manners while exposing the real face of Saudi leaders and officials to the whole world, with Muslims at the top of the list.

Iran sent out a worldwide call and protested against Saudi Arabia’s divisive double standards and policies in the region that intensify conflict between Muslims. The other hot button topic is open support for ISIS that keeps flowing in.

In a direct act of retaliation, Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic ties with Iran when Iranians protested in front of the Saudi embassy in Tehran. The Saudi government then instructed other Arab countries to cut diplomatic ties with Iran in a collective effort to undermine its political front.

This Saudi effort was not broadly welcomed by other countries though, and the Saudi government had to plan new strategies. One of the more recent glaring suspicions was the rocket attack on the Iranian embassy in Sana'a on 07 January 2016.

RT reports that, "The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen says it will investigate the accusation."

Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri, a spokesman for the coalition, told Reuters that, "... coalition jets carried out heavy airstrikes in Sana'a on Wednesday night, targeting missile launchers used by the Houthi militia."

In their article, published the day after the embassy attack, RT wrote about the dark cloud following the Saudi war against Yemen, "The coalition has been heavily criticized for the way it conducts its airstrikes, and was accused of attacking a center for the blind in Yemen on Tuesday. It was also blamed for hitting a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Sanaa in December."

Investigators in Iran say they have also uncovered terrorist plots against Iranian embassies in other countries. The terrorist explosions near the Iranian embassy in Turkey are another suspected act of the Saudi government.

It seems fair to ask why Saudi Arabia continues violating international law with its continual support of terrorists who follow the Wahhabi teachings so prevalent there.
