Saudi Arabia says it has broken off diplomatic ties with Iran, amid a row over the Saudi execution of a prominent Shia Muslim cleric.

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir was speaking after demonstrators had stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran.
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and 46 others were executed on Saturday. Saudi Arabia found them guilty of "terrorism".

Mr Jubeir said that all Iranian diplomats must leave Saudi Arabia within 48 hours.

Go Iran! (I'm persian), jokes aside. Saudi Arabia executed what Iran said was a person of high importance to religion and that he was not involved in terrorism. Although if you think about it, it feels weird that Saudi Arabia is executing foreign, according to them terrorists when the majority of them come from SA. All these killings need to end, it's a joke that we still execute people. Specially people that believe in God. How can they give themselfes the power of life? Doesen't that power only belong to God?

True, executions like these are simply stupid. Execution should be dissolved except on very extreme cases where the criminal has committed a very bad and extreme crime.
