Zawahiri urges attacks over Saudi executions

The Islamist militant group’s global branch warned on Monday that Saudi Arabia would pay for the killings, alongside those of four Shi’ite Muslims including a prominent cleric whose deaths raised regional tensions.

Dr Rouhani also praised the Indonesian President for his attention to the need for strengthening unity and conversation in the Islamic World. Al-Qaeda’s ire, however, was likely because the other people executed belonged to the group.

Briefing the committee on last week’s back-to-back visits to Islamabad by Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman and Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir, Aziz stressed Pakistan’s full support for the anti-terrorism alliance but said its participation would be limited to intelligence sharing, training and the provision of arms.

Iran’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that the “arrogant nouveau-riche” should stay out of diplomacy after the United Arab Emirates mocked his criticism of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record.

Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic ties with Iran as a response to attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions in the country. The sanctions relief comes despite Iran’s continued violations of worldwide resolutions. With the recent signing of the Iran nuclear weapons accord will tensions between the two nations have an impact on this agreement?

On 5 January, the United Nations Security Council strongly condemned the attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran. Additionally, there are indications that Pakistan would work with Saudi Arabia for developing a narrative that could counter extremist ideology.
