1987 Marvan Bashir Al-Roomi مروان بشير آل رومي 1987 King Fahd described the Iranian attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran as the "worst diplomatic crime in history." In condemning Iran's behavior, he pointed out that Iran's refusal to release Al-Ghamdi led to his death. Fahd of Saudi Arabia Ali Khamenei
August 1, 1987 Musaed Al-Ghamdi مساعد الغامدي 1987 Mecca incident In Tehran, angry mobs retaliated by ransacking the Saudi embassy; they detained and beat several diplomats, including one Saudi official who subsequently died from his injuries. Two Saudi diplomats based in Iran have charged Iran with abusing embassy personnel during and after the sacking of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran last month. Marwan Bashir al Romi, the Saudi charge d'affaires, and Reda Nuzha, the consul general, said in interviews with the Saudi Gazette during the weekend that Saudi personnel and their dependents had been beaten in the attack on the embassy Aug. 1. 1987. The attack followed riots the previous day in the Saudi holy city of Mecca, where Iran accused Saudi police of killing about 275 Iranian pilgrims. In addition, U.S. State Department officials said the Saudi government reported 85 Saudi security personnel and 42 pilgrims of other nationalities were killed. Nuzha said Iranian Revolutionary Guards attacked him, breaking his glasses and causing severe eye damage, which later required an operation. Romi accused Iran of negligence in the medical care of Mosaid al Ghamdi, a Saudi political attache injured in the embassy attack, contributing to his eventual death. He said Saudi Arabia offered to evacuate Ghamdi aboard a medical plane equipped with an operating room but the Iranian government refused. Romi and Nuzha returned to Saudi Arabia last week and expressed concern over the nine Saudi envoys, who have moved backed into the Tehran embassy and are continuing diplomatic functions. Fahd of Saudi Arabia Ali Khamenei
August 17, 1987 Marvan Bashir ar-Roomi مروان بشير آل رومي Saudi Charge d'Affaires in Tehran, Marwan Bashir al-Rumi, told the Arab News and Al-Sharq al-Awsat, that the Iranian Foreign Ministry had agreed to return the embassy premises to Saudi diplomats after they are vacated by Iranians. Fahd of Saudi Arabia Ali Khamenei
April 1, 1988 severing of diplomatic relations قطع العلاقات الدبلوماسية Saudi Arabia The most significant incident in bilateral ties that led to the severing of diplomatic relations in April 1988, was the 1987 Hajj event. The Saudi Embassy in Tehran had been closed since August 1987 when students ransacked it.

In March 1988 the Saudi Arabian Government announced its intention of temporarily limiting the number of pilgrims to Mecca from abroad during the Hajj season, which was to begin in mid-July. National quotas would be allocated on the basis of 1,000 pilgrims for every citizen. This formula gave Iran a quota of 45,000. Iran's supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, insisted that 150,000 Iranians, the same number as in 1987, would perform the Hajj and that he would not prevent them from staging political protests at Mecca. In the event, Iran decided not to send pilgrims on the Hajj. Saudi Arabia served its diplomatic relations with Iran in April 1988.

January 2, 2016 2016 attack on the Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran Moments after Nimr al-Nimr was executed, the Saudi Arabian chargé d'affaires was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry to protest against the execution. Following the attack, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir announced that they will break off diplomatic relations with Iran, recalling its diplomats from Tehran and declared Iranian diplomats in Riyadh persona non grata ordering them to leave the kingdom within 48 hours.

A day later (on 4 January), Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said that they will end air traffic and trade links with Iran and also cutting off all commercial relations with Iran. In addition, the Saudi government has imposed a travel ban on its citizens from visiting Iran. Iranian pilgrims would still be welcome to visit Islam's holiest sites in Mecca and Medina, either for the annual Hajj or at other times of year on the Umrah pilgrimage. However, Saudi Arabia-Iran relations can be restored immediately step-by-step, unless the Iranian government acts "like a civilized county."
