In less than two years Saudi Arabia & Iran lost important leaders and both of them are known as moderates who want a good relation between KSA and Iran.

Agreed , King Abdullah was last sensible leader KSA had. He engage everyone through dialogue.

[SALMAN F]

A guy with a million secrets which he took them all to his grave. He has always been a major player in Iran's politics especially his role in the revolution. Some even give him credit for nominating Khaminai to power. He died as a billionaire and it might be safe to say that he was one of the richest Iranian men in the world.

Do still have that ugly,hateful,angry,and obsessed look @haman10 @Saif al-Arab @2800

Fake news.

 

[Ceylal]

When the US press cry his death, this can tell you which man he was. For us, Algeriens, his implication in the black décennie left a very bad test in our mouths. May the good Lord drench him with skunk piss and reserves him one of his hottest ovens.

May the good Lord drench him with skunk piss and reserves him one of his hottest ovens.

Amen.
