Per breaking Sky News, the Saudi's are cutting off all fights and travel between Saudi Arabia and Iran, cutting off commercial ties, and telling it's citizens to leave Iran immediately.

The only exception is religious pilgrims.

Let the follows of the prophet fight it out to prove how understanding and peaceful they are - and ban all travel (ie. immigration) from the region when the sh** hits the fan.

All of this chaos and killing because of an argument whether mullas should be directly related to Mohamhead or not.

Khamenei keeps shooting himself where it hurts.

Saudi sanctions will have more of an impact on the Khomeinist regime than Western sanctions ever did.

Iran finds itself isolated in the Muslim World.

Which is a humiliating low for the mullahs who run it.

The Sauds are toast. They just don’t know it yet.

Caroline Glick nails it on her Facebook page:

Now Bahrain has joined Saudi Arabia in cutting off diplomatic relations with Iran. Jordan is probably next. It only took Obama's deal with the mullahs six months to push the Islamic world to the brink of war and threaten the survival of the Saudi regime - the US's strongest ally in the Persian Gulf.

Quite an accomplishment. Good thing Ben Rhodes said that implementing the nuclear deal with Iran is one of the key goals of Obama's last year in office. We have so much more to look forward to in the coming year...

lets do the little odd scenario that Iran decides to militarily send a message to SA....and overnight....oil suddenly goes back up to $75 a barrel and in two weeks up to $120 a barrel. Who would it benefit the most at this point....Iran? I seem to think that the US might not want to be so eager to help SA.

We will be stuck defending SA. They still have the oil that Europe and Asia need. Closure of the Straits of Hormuz would be disaster. I wonder how the pipeline to the Red Sea is doing?

Yeah, Barack isn’t going to be happy with Saudi Arabia killing those Shiite clerics and sanctions on his Iranian friends.

The Obamites might end up supporting both sides.

Just a few more years before they are lobbing nukes at each other. Maybe sooner than later.
