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.

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.

Not to worry. Putin has offered to serve as “mediator”

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...

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

There are a number of youtubes of the Saudi regulars fighting Houthi vagabonds with RPGs. The Houthis slap the Saudis pretty hard. The Saudis are rather underwhelming.

Just in case anyone is wondering the ‘Shiite Refugees in the Gulf States’ are rife with Iranian agitators, spies, Republican Guards and Quds advisors. They are Iran’s regional destabilization front.

Anyone remember Lebanon and its Shiite minority circa 1973? They were the infiltration means for Iran’s Hez’bollah and Hamas terrorist groups leading to the so called Lebanese civil war. In reality it was an Iranian-Shia supported insurgency against the pluralist Lebanese government. They won. The Iranian theocracy is running the same game plan against the Gulf states. Militants embedded in “refugee” communities. Unfortunately, some people still believe the 1979 Iranian US embassy takeover was by “university students” -as the MSM claimed at the time.

the article misses the most important point.

the action preventing Saudi’s from visiting Iran most importantly prohibits the shia Iranians from visiting Saudi Arabia. that is, no hajj visas to Iranian shias. they are cut off from Mecca

An overthrow of the Saudis would make 2016 EVEN MORE ‘INTERESTING’.-
