Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jobier announced at a press conference on the severing of ties with Iran, saying that "Iran cannot undermine the Saudi defense. Following the break into the embassy in Tehran, the Kingdom decided to cut off diplomatic relations Iran."
He ordered all Iranian diplomats to leave the country within 48 hours, the Iranian ambassador was expelled from the country.

Last night an angry mob broke into the Saudi embassy in Tehran, lit and ransacked it. They lowered the Saudi flag and burned it too. Police forces evacuated the crowd and arrested 40 people.
Other demonstrations took place in the province al-Qatif in eastern Saudi Arabia, where many Shiites live, and the birthplace of al-Nimer.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that "Saudi Arabia will pay for the execution of al-Nimer. His killing is part of a Zionist conspiracy aimed at deepening divisions among Muslims."
The US government also referred to the execution of the Shiite cleric and State Department spokesman John Kirby said that this could aggravate ethnic tensions and called on the leaders of Middle Eastern countries to act to reduce tensions. Kirby added: "We urge Saudi Arabia to respect and protect human rights and to ensure a fair legal process."
