Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia counterattacks Iranian Ministry of Culture

Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Adel al-Dzhubeyr, said today that Iran mixes religion with politics in the situation around the Hajj. "We have fulfilled all the requirements of Iran in respect of the pilgrimage of its citizens, but the Iranian authorities continue to politicize this issue," he said.

"Saudi Arabia pays great attention to the Hajj and no one forbids to perform it,’’ Tass cites Adel al-Dzhubeyr as saying.
