Protesters Storm, Set Fire To Saudi Embassy In Iran
Earlier today, Saudi Arabia announced it had staged its largest mass execution in 25 years.
43 al-Qaeda conspirators were killed along with 4 Shiites accused of shooting policemen in the anti-government protests which broke out during the Arab Spring. Among the Shiites killed: prominent cleric Nimr al-Nimr.
His death drew sharp criticism from Iran and Hezbollah with the latter calling the execution a “grave mistake.” Here's WSJ:
Lebanese militant group Hezbollah called Mr. al-Nemer’s execution a “stain that would haunt this regime,” while former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Malki, another ally of Iran, said the execution “will topple the Saudi regime.”
Arab Gulf allies of the kingdom such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates said they supported steps taken by Saudi Arabia to “confront terrorism.”
Mr. al-Nemer was sentenced to death in October 2014 and charged with crimes including disobeying the ruler, inciting sectarian strife and bearing arms against security forces.
Mr. al-Nemer wasn’t widely known outside Qatif before 2011, when he emerged as a leading voice behind Shiite protests that rocked the oil-rich eastern part of Saudi Arabia for two years.
He was arrested after a car chase near his family’s farm in their hometown of Awwamiya in July 2012. Authorities said he opened fire at security forces. His family has denied this and said he was unarmed.
“We condemn a deplore this unjust killing and consider it an example of killing wisdom and moderation,” Mr. al-Nemer’s family said in a statement.
"The Saudi government supports terrorists and takfiri [heretic] extremists, while executing and suppressing critics inside the country," Iran's Foreign Ministry declared. These are "hostile statements," Riyadh responded, adding that Iran's comments constitute "a blatant intervention in the kingdom’s affairs.”
Protests erupted in the Qatif district of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province as well as in Bahrain, where hundreds took to the streets, burning tires and braving tear gas fired by police. As we reported earlier today, protesters had also converged on the Saudi embassy in Iran.
Now, in what looks like a repeat of the Iran Hostage Crisis, the protesters in Tehran have reportedly broken into the Saudi embassy and set it ablaze with Molotov cocktails.
"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," Reuters reports. "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."

As a reminder, the Sheikh was a prominent voice in the anti-government movement in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh effectively killed (literally) two birds with one stone with his execution: 1) a dissident voice was forever silenced, 2) a message was sent to Tehran, whose regional influence is expanding in Iraq and Yemen and whose forces have served to shore up the Assad government in its fight against Sunni extremists in Syria.
Now, the Iranians look set to send a message back to Riyadh as the sectarian divide once again rears its ugly head.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry is calling for "calm." Here's Reuters:
Iran's Foreign Ministry called for calm in the early hours of Sunday after police dispersed angry protesters who had stormed Saudi Arabia's embassy in Tehran.
Demonstrators broke into the embassy and started fires before being cleared away by the police, Iran's ISNA news agency reported, after gathering there to denounce the kingdom for executing a prominent Shi'ite cleric on Saturday.
The ministry issued a statement calling on protesters to respect the diplomatic premises, according to the Entekhab news website.
If this situation escalates, clearly crude oil will be well bid on Sunday afternoon.

BBC is running the story with a big picture of the fire front and top of their webpage. It's not surprising at all that RT might break the story first. Russia would be notified by Iran or Syria if they didn't know on their own. RT has an excellent track record for accuracy. Al Jazeera is probably still writing the story, one would expect that it will probably be lengthy.

The former Soviet doesn't pay good , but prolly is still a master of Humint.
Lotsa backscratching around.
I absolutely LOVE it. Like watching animals in the pit. Iran ( Head of Shia Islam Worldwide ) will accelerate their nuclear program, continue giving the finger to Barryium Enema Obama and the next neo-con administration ( Hillary or Trump or Cruz or Rubio or Bush ) will continue sucking Saudi ( Head of Sunni Islam Worldwide ) dick and inflaming the whole world.
The Religion of Pieces. LOL !!!
" I absolutely LOVE it. "
Calm down and loosen your fucking lederhosen Wulfie,
death has a way of spreading
That's the only way off this Prison Planet. I'm not worried about it. How about you ?
Islam is the pus of the festering wound that is this world and world system. Let it blow up into full blown gangrene for all I care.
You want off and that's the only way, then grow a set and walk the walk alone.
he did not say he wanted off
I am walking the walk alone. This long haired country boy is alone and wants to be left alone. I fly under the radar as much as I can. Just a couple of friends left in this world for me and they feel the same way. I couldn't give less of a shit about Trump or Hillary or the USA. Couldn't give a shit about Muzzies killing Muzzies. This country was fucked before I got here.....it will be fucked after I am gone. The Muzzies were killing each other 6,000 years before they were even Muzzies. They were fucked before I got here.....they'll be fucked after I'm gone.
And the situation will go on and on and on. Only until one side decides to go full tilt boogie Roman Empire and go Mega-Death on the other including salting the land so no one can live there or grow food for several generations. We could do that with nukes just like we did against the Japs or with conventional 24x7 firebombing like we did with Nazi Germany, not caring how many civilians got killed in the process. Look at the Japs and Germans now. Completely pacified. The Japs even lost their religion in Emperor worship and Germany lost their Pagan relligion in Worshiping the Cultic Fuehrer.
If you wiped out all of ISIS, Syria, Iran and most importantly of all Saudi Arabia including and especially Mecca and Medina, with nukes with no remorse, you would fuck up the rest of Muzzie Land's belief system in the all powerfull Allah and any of their goofy prophecy's concerning Jesus and Moo-Ha-Med riding in to rescue them. And then when the rest of the Muzzie World from Afghanistan and Pakistan went all Muzzie Pavement Apeshit crazy, you'll know where to find them and you just nuke them there.
Pretty soon, what little of Muzzie World's SMART Muzzies will learn to shut up and act nice if they want to survive.
Apart from that.....it will be the same old shit. Until the Call For Prayer goes out in every major city in this country by 2050. You can have a Civil War now......or your children and grandchildren can decide to have it or "submit" (Islam) in the city of their choosing.
But I'll be long dead by then. So what do I care. You cowardly fuckers and your cowardly fathers and cowardly forefathers sold themselves off to the Corporatist Slave Masters generation after generation with only the illusion of choice being the scraps from their table left to you and them. And you sorry pieces of shit have been lapping it up since at least the Civil War but particularly from 1913 onward. Fuck you all.
So....I'm walking alone.....in the dark. Let me be.....I'll let you be.
I was contemplating giving you a thumbs up, but you blew it by casting the fire bombing of Dresden in a favorable light.
Further, Hitler was a Christian, not a Pagan.
You seriously misrepresent Paganism.
Paganism is the antidote to the the poisonous cults of Semitism.

Feel free to worship all the trees you want but you'll have forgive us if we don't choose to follow you in the footsteps of Druidic ritual child killers or the cannibalistic headhunters of New Guinea. Real up-and-comers, those guys.
Ah dude, the ritual child killers of ancient days were famously from The Levant. Who else is from The Levant? What's a sardonic smile? Who is Baal?
Today, you are more likely to find them in Washington, London or Tel Aviv.
Fuck you, you ignorant slut. The true Hebrews killed the Baalists who tried to kill them first. Baal and the belief in him predated the Hebrews. It was a Canaanite bastardization of Assyrian and Babylonian myths. You know.....Babylon ( modern day Iraq and Syria which are now Muzzies and Canaanites ( modern day Jordan and Palestinians who are now......wait for it.....wait for it......Muzzies)
Wulfkind, the Fuehrer wants his metals back. You love to mock the just beheaded preacher of a severely oppressed minority, you love fanning the flames with lines like "I absolutely LOVE it. Like watching animals in the pit." Now the mask slips and you reveal yourself, not as a NAZI as your Wulfkind name seems designed to imply, but as a ZioNazi instead. How interesting. Is this Affinity Fraud you are engaged in?
Child sacrifice was a prominent part of Levantine Religious practice? Yes or no? You could say Templars or their descendant Masons carried Levantine esoteric practice into the halls of power in the West. But not you, you rabid Zino attack dog. Relax. Studies show you are most likely a Khasar. Or do you prefer Khazarian?
I know you are going to claim to be a Christian, but sorry, you fail. I Christian does not say things like I absolutely LOVE it. Like watching animals in the pit.
Here you are Wolfie getting all Christian again, 'cause you are Christian, right? If you wiped out all of ISIS, Syria, Iran and most importantly of all Saudi Arabia including and especially Mecca and Medina, with nukes with no remorse, you would fuck up the rest of Muzzie Land's belief system in the all powerfull Allah and any of their goofy prophecy's concerning Jesus and Moo-Ha-Med riding in to rescue them. And then when the rest of the Muzzie World from Afghanistan and Pakistan went all Muzzie Pavement Apeshit crazy, you'll know where to find them and you just nuke them there.
Keep smokin' that dope, junior. Wulfkind means just that........I'm "kinda" like a wolf. And I'm kind to wolves. I support a couple of wolf rescue programs.
I'm not a Nazi. Not a German Nazi nor a Ashken Nazi ( see what I did there.....hmmmm......well, of course not. you can't see a fucking thing from all the smoke coming off your phattie )
And as far as the Ashkenazi not being "real" Jews, why don't you and the other Jew Hating cocksuckers bone up on your Biblical history. Ashkennazi is derived from the name Ashkennaz who was the great grandson of Noah. They were referred to in the book of Jeremiah as being one of the kingdoms of the north who were called upon to resist Babylon when they invaded. They were also referred to as Gomer which was also called Germania. So wouldn't that be funny if that one balled syphillis riddled Hilter was also in reality had Ashkenazi roots?
Me being Christian or not has nothing to do with me mocking these animals killing and destoying in their so called god's name. Or their pedophile prophet.
So the Ashkennazi are mentioned in the early geneologies? So they were called to resist the Babalonians? How does any of that make them part of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob's bloodline?
If not the Ashkenazi, who was Jesus referring to (twice) when he said "those who claim to be Jews but are of the synagogue of Satan "?
"Who is Baal?"
The Caananite god, but easily confused with Margaret Sanger.
I was contemplating giving you a thumbs up, but you blew it by casting the fire bombing of Dresden in a favorable light.
Further, Hitler was a Christian, not a Pagan.
I couldn't give less of a shit about upvotes or downvotes. My votes and postings and your votes and postings and everybodies votes and postings are nothing but digital masturbation. In fact, the NSA LOVES the fact that your upvoting or downvoting me or anybody else here. As long you are digitally masturbating on ZeroHedge and elsewhere in the Matrix and not picking up the gun and the Molotov cocktail like the Muzzie hoardes overseas, they won't feel compelled to RENDITION YOUR ASS OUT OF EXISTENCE.
And, shit for brains, Hitler WAS a pagan. A NEOpagan perhaps. A fucked up mishmash paganism. But pagan none the less. The Fatherland Myth. The Blue Eye, Blonde Hair White Aryan Superman Myth. The Nazi version of the Vedic Sun Symbol Swastika. The cultic fascination with Grail Legends and the music of Wagner.
That little one balled shit eater, was nothing more than a failed Roman Catholic who embraced secular materialism on the one hand, but after realizing there is no spiritual center in secular materialism began to create a neopagan mashup of different Germanic folk beliefs, Tibetan mysticism, Atlantean myths, etc. etc. This little ignorant shit tard fell for most anything that he could cobble together in order to further his cult of personality. His own brand of paganism.
Hitler a Christian? You just won the Internet for being the most ignorant slut in the Solar System.
Hitler and his henchmen were Luciferians.
Wulfkind:
Deo Vindice
Well....yeah.....in principle alone. Although you wouldn't know it from my *ahem* flowery language, I am a Christian. A totally failed one. My thorn in the side is my anger at the world and my inability to deal with it other than checking out of the world and occasionally throwing a well turned curse word at it.
But if you refer to Deo Vindice as the motto on the Great Seal of the Confederate States.......well then.....Fuck The Confederacy. I'm glad my Confederate forefathers and even some of my direct descendents got themselves blown to hell in that war. Motherfucking white people should have picked their own cotton and not brought in the slaves. A lot of those slaves , by the way, being rounded up and sold by Muzzie slave traders. Let's see Louis Fucking Farrakan speak to that ! Or the good Reverend "Goddam America" Wright speak to that one.
Because of those motherfucking slaves, we brought the wrath of Lincoln down on us and the country. There probably wouldn't have been a President Lincoln at all had white people picked their own fucking cotton. He would have ended up just a backwoods lawyer with a henpecking wife for the rest of his life. Fucking lazy ass white people importing cheap slave labor is what ruined this country before it was even a country. With the Founding Fathers tolerating that shit early on for the sake of that fucking piece of now worthless paper "The Constitution", we are now where we are at.......a Balkinized, tribal confederacy with 50% and counting of the population aggrieved at something the white man has done.
And WE ARE STILL DOING IT. Lazy ass white CEO's of Railroad companies and coal mines in the 1800's importing cheap Italian, Irish, Russian, Chinease, etc labor and shitting on them until they form the Unions we have now. Which in turn put us at a competitive disadvantage. So what did we do? Export all those jobs overseas and RE-IMPORT cheap wage slave labor to work the fields and clean our businesses, and program our computers and answer the telephone, etc etc.
And what are we getting ? Well......La Raza in the West and MI-13, the Islamic Caliphate of Michigan and soon to be the Northeast, the East side of China in the Pacific Northwest, the Northside of Cuba in Florida, etc, etc,
All because we couldn't pick our own motherfucking cotton or chop our own motherfucking tobacco or chop our own motherfucking sugar cane.
Yeah......Deo Fucking Vindice
"This long haired country boy is alone and wants to be left alone. I fly under the radar as much as I can. Just a couple of friends left in this world for me and they feel the same way. "
You are a piece of work dood.
Somehow, I think you will be left alone.
Posting period & flying under the radar...jumpinhehosaphat, that's some funny shit rat thar.
No doubt there's a reason for the "couple."
While you & many others promote the divisive strategy of tptb & state the obvious of what's fed you, why don't you try cracking that nut of yours & point your finger to the top of this pyramid?

It's the counter-reformation that's the head of this NWO.
He recently visited.
You are a piece of work dood.
Somehow, I think you will be left alone.
Mission accomplished.
...And when even more of the Middle East is on fire, your country will be filling up with more swarthy refugees than even Mr Merkel can fantasise about.
Call me old-fashioned, but I used to quite like that quaint old concept of peace.
You always had the choice of NOT letting them in.
And there will NEVER be peace on Earth as long as humans are alive.
That is something that many lie about for power and others ignorantly believe because they are soft headed.
Animals be animals
Take any neighborhood in the world, there is always somebody.
"Animals be animals" Animals don't crucify each other, blow each other up, bomb each other, torture each other and then ask for help from other animals. Quit calling human beings animals. I've never known an animal as outright cruel and/or ridiculous as any human being I've ever known. Human beings are simply grotesque. Animals don't come close to the purely wanton cruelty of human beings. Ever.
Guess you've never seen a weasel do an entire henhouse.
I agree with wulf and was talking about pecking order and power in general. Known concepts.
Pecking order crosses the chicken line and power/dominance is easily seen in all lines.
Other knowns, what you said.
Love it... I gotta give you a +1 for "Mr. Merkel".

Believing the strangest things...
"Loving The Alien"
Watching them come and goThe Templars and the Saracens
They're travelling the holy land
Opening telegrams
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon
Salvation for the mirror blind
But if you pray
all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide
the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things,
loving the alien)
And your prayers they break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
You pray till the break of dawn
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And you'll believe you're loving the alien
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan
Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail
awesome!!
It's nothing to lose your head over
Does any one know if John Kerry and Barry have ordered special ops to go in and rescue the Saudi diplomats?
Time to buy one of them tankers full of Crude sitting in the gulf.

Shit never changes in dar al-islam.
Fuck religion.
Islam is much more than a religion.
so is Christianity ('judiasm', OTOH, doesn't actually really exist... It's a 'hijacked' excuse for schlong nosed Khazars to steal your money). Not that many idiot westeren jews even know about that, (WHICH MAKES IT TRULY A FARCE). & what's worse, it makes the 'GOY' doubly stupid!
& here come the freshly minted TRUMPER/DRUDGE'rs to put me in my place... (only the ZH faithful will kno who I am & what this all means)...
Trump 'Christians' better get a fucking grip on REALITY. (note: it has ZERO to do with other political candidates).
What is the mascot of the university you graduated from?
We used to have a laugh with francis about our alma mater, that's all.
All people have religion; it is their moral compass mixed with emotion violated when convenient and imposed on others directly or indirectly; what is yours? Most informal religion is humanism (captain of your own ship variety).
BTW - religion is generally not tangible; therefore hard to f***...just saying. :)
Fight the Power!
True, but fck the Saudis even more.
Biggest support of terrorism around the world.
Dumb western sheeple don’t even realise that all Sunni "ISIS" terrorists always go home to Saudi Arabia for their felafel and Ramadan.
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Now that is funny.
