TEHRAN – Iran has not made any decision to call off the Hajj pilgrimage this year if Saudi Arabia accepts Iran’s conditions, said the Supreme Leader’s representative in Hajj and pilgrimage affairs.

Ali Ghazi Askar said on Friday that an Iranian delegation will be dispatched to Saudi Arabia on February 23 to discuss the issue. “If our country’s conditions are accepted and the dignity of Iranian pilgrims is preserved, this year the Hajj ritual will be held.”
