Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has renewed his attack on Saudi Arabia over its execution of a leading Shia cleric, saying that politicians in the Sunni kingdom would face divine retribution for his death.
“The unjustly spilled blood of this oppressed martyr will no doubt soon show its effect and divine vengeance will befall Saudi politicians,†state TV reported Khamenei as saying on Sunday. It said he described the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr as a “political errorâ€.
Analysis Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr: Shia cleric was a thorn in Saudi regime's side Nimr, whose execution has sparked condemnation across the Middle East, was a vocal backer of pro-democracy protests
“God will not forgive... it will haunt the politicians of this regime,†he said. “This oppressed cleric did not encourage people to join an armed movement, nor did he engage in secret plotting, and he only voiced public criticism ... based on religious fervour.â€
In an apparent swipe at Saudi Arabia’s western allies, Khamenei criticised “the silence of the supposed backers of freedom, democracy and human rights†over the execution.
“Why are those who claim to support human rights quiet? Why do those who claim to back freedom and democracy support this (Saudi) government?†Khamenei was quoted as saying.

Al-Nimr did not support terrorism
n August 2008, he said that he saw US citizens as a natural ally of Shia as the thinking of both US citizens and Shia is "based on justice and liberty". He told a diplomat that he believed in these American ideals.
And note that while Iran is a flawed, bad state, it still has a semblance of democracy as opposed to the utter autarky of the Saudis
>> divine vengeance...
Isn’t that one of the 7 deadly sins?
Or theater to drive oil prices up.
Soon, Iran, Russia, Hizbollah, Syria will be aligned and ready to take on NATO.
Saudi Arabia and her allies will join forces with Israel, Egypt and Jordan and launch an attack on Iran...it's coming.
By the time of the attack, President Ovomit will be out of office...lucky for him.
Didn’t Tehran just accuse the USA of agitating for a non-existent war between Shia and Sunni?
Now they are making implied threats of nuclear attack? LOL.
Well Fred, here is another indicator whihc supports your prediction that the muzzies will chew each other up like a snake swallowing its tail.
They are at each other in the ISIS conflagration, thay are at each other in Libya, they are at each other in Yemen and now the Saudis are getting directly involved breaking diplomatic rekatuiibns withIran ( no more haj for them by golly! Buahahahahaha!)
But again, will the hammer of Allah become an Iranian nuclear device? Barrack Obama bet—no.— I bet—yes—.
A pox on both houses.
Oh, that war is very real and very old.
Yes. And unlike the fat Saud family, Thry don’t bankroll terrorist mosques and imams and Jihadis in the west. Far from angels, but the Saudi pigs are infinitely worse. Hope their “kingdom”comes crashing down around their headd.
It used to befor Carter got rid of the secular leader.
Long ago Iran were the actual nazis with Hitler. Right now they are going that way with their clerics.
Muslims killing other Muslims...win win!!!
If that’s the way allah wants it, who are we to worry?
Islam carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction...mohammad predicted there would be 70 sects that would attempt to destroy each other. He was the most perfect man, and they all follow the same psychopathic ruler as if he still lives.
Long live mohammad. Long enough to see his predictions come true. Dust and rubble and ashes are his legacy to the muslims. We will buy our oil from the victors regardless of the sect they belong to.
And we need to FRACK AND DRILL!
well,maybe these Muslims will devour each other, but the problem is that they may use a nuclear device in the process. How many devices would they set off before bringing the retaliation of a Super Power?
Right you are:
