#1 "Somebody in Iran will have to pay the price, and that price will have to be on the terms acceptable to the norms and practices in Iran and other countries"

Public execution or at least maiming. Turki ups the stakes for ShortRound's vehement rhetoric and irresponsible actions.

#2 Whenever the Iranians have tried to cause big disruptions in Mecca, it has ended up with a lot of Iranians being beheaded by the Saudi executioner. But this was always an internal thing in Saudi.

The last two external things were first when Yemeni radicals started doing incursions into Saudi. While there was a military response, the Saudis took a cue from Israel and built a wall between the two countries. With little or no controversy, I might add.

Second was the Saudi reinforcement of Bahrain, going in and butchering a bunch of Iranian backed Shiite agitators. The Iranians hadn't counted on that, and probably had a whole bunch of escalating schemes planned to eventually overthrow the Bahrain government and annex the country.

So this being said, and given the Saudis previous support for indirect, but aggressive world-wide actions, I wonder if they will start a major program of attacks against Iran. This would be highly amusing.

As it is, the Saudi are quietly developing their own nuclear weapons program, but being isolated in a few big cities, they are particularly vulnerable to nuclear attack. Of which they are probably acutely aware.
