Both states are Islamic theocracies. Iran is a direct theocracy, where the most powerful individuals in the government are the Ayatollahs, and Saudi Arabia is an indirect theocracy where the Wahhabi Clerics have incredible authority, but direct power is vested in the secular King. The forms of Islam that are in power in both Iran and Saudi Arabia are both fundamentalist, but they are of different strands. Iran is run by fundamentalist Twelver Ja'afari Shiite Muslims and Saudi Arabia is run by fundamentalist Wahhabi Hanbali Sunni Muslims. This results in key differences between the regimes and mutual hatred between them.
