Saudi Arabia’s only official alcohol shop has run short of supplies ranging from beer and wine to tequila, as the disruption caused by the Iran war has delayed shipments, visitors to the store said.

Situated in Riyadh’s diplomatic district, the shop, which has no name and no sign, opened in 2024 to serve non-Muslim diplomats and last year expanded to cater for wealthy non-Muslim foreign residents.

    The biggest sign that Iran has been feeling pressure, is that Iranian trolls are even on Lemmy pretending to be Americans…

    Mainstream social media has to be swamped with them by now. The only reason they stand out here is when they get mad and reply in their own words instead of using AI to translate.

    It was a huge shock the first couple times till I realized why the tone would switch drastically after 2-3 replies. I think they’re just using free AI accounts and get too impatient to wait for more free uses if they have to reply in consecutive short time frames.
