Saudi coastguard kills Iranian fisherman in Persian Gulf

Saudis are crossing lines which they can't afford
What line?
Iran is doing sameby interfering and supporting terrorists in gcc countries.
Its war going on between extremist gov of iran and gcc.
Iran should warn the fisherman so they dont go near suadis water.
 
Nothing will happen .
.
KSA had an experience of suicide boats so maybe they misunderstood or something .
.
Or may be KSA & usa are poking iran to wage a war .

Iran doing via proxies and Saudia doing it openly.
There no right between them.
 
Saudis are crossing lines which they can't afford
till reformist are in power , they are free to cross any line , their only fear should come from Supreme Leader and IRIGC and both of them can't afford hard response without our government full assistance .... and our government is in reformists hands ....
 
@OldTwilight you are like American republicans, they were always saying everything was Obama's fault, "thanks Obama".

Do you honestly think Rouhani has the authority to assassinate Saudi officials, or launch retaliatory strikes? That's all Khamenei.

You don't understand how Iran makes national security decisions, the president doesn't say let's launch 100 missiles at Riyadh, the SNSC and Khamenei make measured responses in conventional and unconventional spheres. We are not Saudi, we do not lash out, we do not aggress. We have a pool of decision makers, not one young defence minister who calls all the shots and uses force all the time. You are thinking like him in this respect.

Maybe if you weren't so determined to turn absolutely everything into a Rouhani bashing thread you would actually realise what is going on.
 
iranian members seem to think they are so innocent like persian cats sorry if u back anyone into a corner they will eventually fight back ,we pakistanis have heard about of string of pearls and china and india paranoia to counter it somehow, same thing saudis are feeling a noose around their country with houthis to the south the iraqis and shia militias to the north iran was always there to the east and then qatar to a even closer proximity ,so u can't blame the saudis for going on offensive diplomatically and potentially militarily it is a middle east cold war ,qatar may become what cuba became during cuban missile crisis right next door ,no country would allow others to intervene in their sphere of influence ins uch close procimity i.e ukraine crimea russia is the latest example ,so stop trying to be so innocent u instigated this iranian s.
And about the people who think saudis will be run over in minutes think again for now saudis internally have suppressed al sheikhs the mutawas religious hardliners king abdullah gave priority to promoting nationalism rather then islamic botherhood and more constrictions on mutawa powers ,but if anyone attacks and if we know saudi military can't win based on its nationalistic ideology it will have to switch to religious ideology plus they will have legitimacy to call for jihad as a muslim country's head of state will be calling it ,even when isis is considered terrorist world over still their ranks get boosted ,imagine what will become when most muslim countries would sympathise and let their citizens freely go to defend saudis ,attacking saudis in no walk in the park ,u will be daling with hardened fighters from afghanistan ,pakistan ,indonesia ,chechnya,philipines ,libya iran may have its alquds but saudis will form such a vlounteer force of half a million on one call top the muslim world all they will need is to supply weapons and provide incentives to fighters ,and their religious al-sheikhs will become more powerfull then al sauds if a war happens and a future saudi arabia might come out of war more conservative ,so wake up and smell the coffee it aint that easy to run over saudi arabia in minutes as some of our members think

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi


The Iranian Foreign Ministry has voiced its deepest regrets over the “bitter incident” in which Saudi Arabian coastguards killed an Iranian fisherman.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi, confirmed the incident on Saturday night and stressed that it is being investigated by Iran’s border guard and other related authorities.

“This subject is currently under investigation… and after the results become apparent, this bitter incident will be seriously followed up,” he said.

Earlier, the Iranian Interior Ministry’s Director General for border affairs Majid Aqa-Babaei announced that the Saudi coastguard had killed an Iranian fisherman in the waters south of Iran.

“Accordingly and without establishing whether the Iranian boats had crossed Saudi borders, the coastguard of this country opened fire on the Iranian boats and an Iranian fisherman was killed due to a bullet hitting him in the waist,” he added.

Relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia worsened after a deadly human crush occurred during Hajj rituals in Mina, near Mecca in September 2015.

Islamic Republic officials blamed the incompetence of Saudi officials for the incident, which, according to Iran, killed 4,700 people, including 465 Iranian nationals.

Mutual ties deteriorated further when Riyadh executed prominent Saudi Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr in January 2016. Saudi Arabia unilaterally severed its diplomatic ties with Iran after protests in front of its diplomatic premises in the cities of Tehran and Mashhad against Nimr’s execution.

Well said!

@OldTwilight and @IranDefence

The sovereignty of Iran is not a question of political affiliation, i.e. we all know the history of imprisoned pilots after the islamic revolution who were reinstated during the Iraq war. We all know of their heroic sacrifices.

So please do not make political affiliation into a dividing factor when it comes to Iranian defence and security concerns. Such a division only serves our true enemies.

As Amir point out, we have an inticrate network of EXPERTS making measures analysis and ultimately suggesting measured response. Just look at the recent events and judge the GENIUS level of Iranian policy making:

1. Iran's sphere of influence covers most of Iraq and Syria. The cost effectiveness of this is INSANE. Iranians servicemen who have been lost in battle is only 600 (may them RIP)! 600 in 7 years of fighting. Which other country in the world has had this influence with such low casualties in modern history?

2. Saudi-Yemeni war. Many were demanding for Iranian direct involvement in this war. Many argued that if Iran did not assist the Yemenis directly then they would fall shortly. Iranian involvement in this war has been counselling and limited transfer of rocket tech know how. The result has been Saudis wasting billion of their annual budget as well as 30% of their total foreign reserves in 2 years on a conflict that they will never win and their image as protector of Islam is forever taunted. True muslims can see with their own eyes the savagery the Saudis have committed in Yemen. Saudi took the macho approach. Iran took the intelligent approach.

3. Sanctioning of Qatar. Instead of rushing to make the divison greater, Iranian policy makers urged for dialogue. This is in contrast to the Saudis who sanctioned their "brotherly" Qatar. Again, true muslims cannot disregard what Saudis did during Ramadan and that Iran did not even try to take advantage. Not only Qatar, but also Kuwait and Oman will now think twice before trusting the Saudis. With this action they have damaged themselves more than any Iranian weaponry ever could.


All of these examples goes to show that when you make decisions based on feeling then you will always lose against an opponent which makes measured and logical decisions. Which begs the question, why should we take this obvious bate from an artificial state to initiate a war with uncertain outcome when we can take multitude of other actions which will speed up the process of their own self-implosion?
 
tension between iran aur saudi will where lead them... they should resolve the issue by table talks.... war will bring them to disaster...
