https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Mohammed_Baqir_al-Nimr is not mentioned yet, but if he is pardoned soon it is an indication that Saudi want to defuse the situation and negotiate. But, this is “honor country” so expect irrationalities.

Maybe Saudi and Iran can cut out their middle-man, proxies, and duke it out directly. It is more honest that way.
