Talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia have been temporarily suspended according to sources affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Tasnim News Agency reported.

The report comes following Riyadh's mass execution of 81 people, including 41 from the peace protest movement in Al-Ahsa and Qatif, seven Yemenis, and one Syrian, claiming that they were "involved in terrorist cases inside the Kingdom."

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein had announced - on the sidelines of the recent Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Turkey - that the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, would host the fifth round of talks between Tehran and Riyadh on Wednesday.

The Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud had also raised the possibility of holding the fifth round of talks with Iran.

Saudi regime massacred innocent youths 

Commenting on Riyadh's mass execution campaign, the opposition in the Arabian Peninsula stated that the Saudi regime committed a massacre against dozens of detainees, adding that the regime pursues its methodology of committing more crimes against innocent people.

The opposition said the Saudi regime is carrying out a horrific massacre against a group of young people who only exercised their legitimate right of expressing their right to freedom, while the world is preoccupied with what is happening in Ukraine.

Major crime against humanity

For his part, the Minister of Information in the Sanaa government, Daifallah Al-Shami, slammed  Al Saud's crimes and their mass executions as "a major crime against humanity."

It is noteworthy that diplomatic ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia grew strained following the execution of Sheikh Nimr Baqir Al-Nimr in January 2016.

The Riyadh authorities executed Al-Nimr along with 46 other people on the same day, under the pretext of "fighting terror" just to oppress dissidents and opponents.
