Hajj For Iranian Iran Sends Delegation to Saudi Arabia

TEHRAN: Iran will send pilgrims to Hajj 2017, if Saudi Arabia accepts the Islamic Republic’s conditions, says the Iranian minister of culture and Islamic guidance.

Reza Salehi-Amiri said on the sidelines of a cabinet session on Wednesday, February 22 that Iran had sent a delegation to Saudi Arabia to follow up on the issue of Hajj for Iranian pilgrims.

“The Iranian administration will try to dispatch pilgrims to Saudi Arabia,” he said, stressing that Iran seeks to “send pilgrims to the Grand Mosque only if Saudi Arabia accepts our conditions.”

Amiri added that the Islamic Republic had sent a letter to the Saudi minister of Hajj and Umrah, enumerating the country’s conditions, including the issues of security and blood money for the families of the pilgrims who lost their lives in a deadly human crush in Mina near the holy city of Mecca in 2015.

If the Saudi side does not accept Iran’s conditions, “Saudi Arabia will be held accountable,” the Iranian minister added.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said an Iranian delegation would travel to Saudi Arabia on February 23 to discuss the issue of Hajj.

Qassemi added that the Iranian delegation’s visit comes at the invitation of the Saudi government to discuss Iran’s conditions for this year’s Hajj.

Iran decided to stop sending pilgrims to Hajj over security concerns after two deadly incidents claimed the lives of more than 470 Iranian pilgrims during the 2015 Hajj, the deadly human crush, which occurred in September 2015 and a massive construction crane had collapsed into Mecca’s Grand Mosque, killing more than 100 pilgrims, including 11 Iranians, and injuring over 200 others, among them 32 Iranian Nationals.
