Hajj Stampede: Iran Blames Saudi Arabia For "Inefficiency & Mismanagement" As They Record 465 Deaths

Iran says they have recorded the highest death so far in the last week Thursday’s hajj stampede in Saudi Arabia, blaming authorities for their "inefficiency and mismanagement" in handling the largest gathering of Muslims. The number of Iranian pilgrims killed so far has risen to 465. Yesterday the Iranian authorities released their names. They have also demanded the immediate transfer of the dead bodies to Iran for proper burial.
About 64,000 Iranians travelled to Saudi Arabia this year to perform the Hajj rituals.
