Saudi Arabia Executions and Sunni-Shia Conflict
Saudi Arabia's execution of Shia cleric Nimr al-Nimr has sparked a major diplomatic crisis with Iran. Protesters attacked the Saudi embassy in Tehran, leading to a severance of ties between the two nations. This escalation is viewed as part of a broader "divide and conquer" strategy to incite a regional civil war between Sunni and Shia Muslims.
