#2 Fun fact: Executions in Saudi Arabia are done by NCO's in their special forces. Call it on the job training.

#4 You’re right, Lord Garth. From the Times of Israel:

The report does not give a reason for Iran’s suspension [of secret talks], but it comes after Saudi Arabia put to death 81 people convicted of crimes ranging from killings to ties to militant groups, a group that activists believe included over three dozen Shiites.

Shiites, who live primarily in the kingdom’s oil-rich east, have long complained of being treated as second-class citizens. Saudi Arabia’s executions of Shiites have stirred regional unrest in the past.

Iran, the largest Shiite Muslim country in the world, and Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties in 2016 after Saudi Arabia executed prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.
