Can you translate the Hebrew (?} - says the translation is unavailable on my device. Or any other context or background? Just looks like a burning car to me.

Any danger of telling us what the hell you’re on about?

Google translate says:

Saudi Arabia: Riyadh, a security incident is suspected. A vehicle in the Royal Guard convoy was hit by an explosion. There are casualties. The details are still under review

Iran, any number of Islamic terror organisations.

Pretty much anyone who has the US on their st list.

That being said I'll wait for this to be confirmed by a reputable news organisation.

The flame colour means it's a battery cooking off.

I wonder who could have a grudge against someone who locks up his relatives, takes their stuff and orders the harrassment, kidnap and murder of journalists?

Unlikely to be Iran given the peace deal brokered between them and the Saudis by the Chinese last year.

A helicopter has crashed in a convoy containing Iranian President (Ebrahim Raisi).

I was going to put this in the Israel-Iran War thread, but this came up first and might be more related (but who knows).

I am not sure any deal signed by Iran would stop them offing a senior Saudi royal if given the opportunity. It would be right out of irans play book.
