In today's Back of the Brief, the diplomatic fallout from Iran's deadly crackdown on protesters continues to play out across the globe, this time landing squarely in the Swiss Alps.

The World Economic Forum has withdrawn its invitation to Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arachi, barring him from attending this year's Davos summit.

The decision follows mounting pressure from human rights groups and activists, who argued that Iranian regime officials should not be granted a global stage while Iranian security forces continue to violently suppress anti-government demonstrations at home.

Well, that makes sense.

Look, if you're responsible for killing thousands of protesters because you can't relinquish your violent grip on power, you probably shouldn't expect an invite to drink champagne and nosh on canopies at some posh ski lodge in the Swiss Alps.
