4. What lead to the diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016?

Explanation

The diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016 was primarily caused by the execution of Nimr al-Nimr. Nimr al-Nimr was a prominent Shia cleric in Saudi Arabia who was critical of the Saudi government. His execution sparked outrage among Shia Muslims in Iran, leading to protests and an attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran. In response, Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Iran, escalating tensions between the two countries. The other options mentioned, such as the Nuclear Deal, intervention in a referendum, and veto in OPEC, are not directly related to the diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2016.

Therefore, to find the equivalent year in the Bengali calendar, we subtract 594 from 2016, resulting in the year 1422. However, since the Bengali calendar starts from the year 593 of the Gregorian calendar, we add 1 to the result, giving us the equivalent year of 1423.

The Thai solar calendar, also known as the Thai Buddhist calendar, is based on the Buddhist Era (BE) which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. To find the equivalent year in the Thai solar calendar, we subtract 543 from 2016, resulting in 1473. However, the Thai solar calendar also has a different starting point, so we need to add 543 to 1473, giving us 2016. Therefore, the equivalent of 2016 in the Thai solar calendar is 2559.
