Saudi Arabia Severs Diplomatic Ties With Iran Over Storming Of Their Embassy After Executions

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister Adel al Jubeir announced the decision to expel Iran's diplomats following the evacuation of its own diplomatic staff from Iran.

Iran's diplomats have been given 48 hours to leave Saudi Arabia after the Kingdom's foreign ministry accused Iran of failing in its duty to protect its embassy in Tehran.
A large mob attacked the Saudi embassy in Tehran last night, setting the building on fire with petrol bombs and ransacking items from the Saudi diplomatic offices. Iran's Supreme Leader had vowed 'divined revenge' on Saudi Arabia after it executed 47 prisoners, including a prominent Shiite cleric.
