They can naturally be resolved. But the fact is that Iran has deep ideological and political contradictions with Saudi Arabia on regional issues. In the area of ideology, Wahhabism has natural hostility towards Shiism and the Shiites. Some radical Wahhabi and Salafi movements believe that the Shiites are infidels and pouring their blood is allowed. The Wahhabis have acted on this basis and confronted the Shiites in Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Furthermore, besides this ideological issue, there are differences which exist between Iran and Saudi Arabia with regard to Iraq, Syria, and the three Iranian islands. The Saudis acted against Iran in these three issues. In Iraq, when they felt that the Shiite government had reached power by relying on the people, they made great efforts to overthrow or weaken it. Saudi hands are behind all the suicide bombings which take the lives of many people in Iraq every day. In Syria, they openly support the radical and al-Qaeda groups that stand against the Shiites and the Syrian Alawis, and have, in fact, somehow acted against Iran. panorama.am/en/analytics/2013/10/15/tehran-riyadh/
