"The termination of Iran-Saudi diplomatic relations…comes in the context of the ongoing proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, also involving Turkey and, in the case of Syria, Russia, in countries including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, and Yemen," Firas Abi Ali and Anna Boyd, senior analysts at IHS Country Risk, said in a note late on Monday.
"These conflicts are likely to escalate given that Saudi accusations against Iran will serve to close off diplomatic avenues. In the meantime, the growing sectarian polarization across the region will primarily benefit Islamic State , which is promoting a sectarian narrative.""
