The problem is that most SA people doesn't know what's going on and they think what their media says is the right thing that happens in the world. They won't believe if some one says that their government is a terrorist sponsor. They think that they have been chosen from God and what they do is the right thing.
Yeah, I've heard that same line being attributed to other countries (USA and Israel). To me the Saudis have become too complacent, they live reasonably comfortable lives (Shia's are still suppressed) and much of the hard work in the Gulf Arab countries and Saudi Arabia are done by foreign (nearly slave like labor). So they could give a rats *** what happens outside their borders, just keep the kebob and camel coming...
It's the duty of the citizens of a country to keep tabs on what the governments does (this goes for all countries Iran included). But I understand where your coming from.
Iran will probably make it's rage felt where it hits the Saudis, in Yemen. A MANPAD, maybe a short range Anti-ship missile slipped in to mess up a Saudi ship.
Iran always has a proportional response. This was not a major attack, so Iran's response is likely to be unconventional.
You see my worry comes from the possibility that Saudia Arabia itself has issued a top-down command of "use hostile action against anything Iranian", this sort of doctrine change is very concerning. It's essentially a informal declaration of war. I'm waiting for the Iranian parliament to finally call this what it is, a war. IRGC and other Iranian military/security elements have a phenomenal job so far, but a harsher tone needs to be taken (truth be told I don't know if a harsher tone has been taken or not, I'm just commenting on what I see).
The US navy would have blown that ship up right quick if they did that to us, or at least badly damaged it.
