Saudi, Iran agree to repatriate dead pilgrims: state media

Saudi and Iranian health ministers have agreed to repatriate Iranian pilgrims killed in last week's Haj stampede, Saudi state media said, after Tehran threatened a "fierce" response over delays.

Tehran has accused Saudi of hindering its efforts to bring home the bodies of at least 239 Iranians who died in last week's tragedy near the Muslim holy city of Makkah.

Another 241 people, including senior Iranian diplomat and former ambassador to Lebanon, are among the Iranians still listed as missing six days after the deadly crush.

"The two parties have agreed on the repatriation of the bodies of identified dead Iranians as soon as possible," Saudi's SPA state news agency reported early Thursday following talks between the rivals in Jeddah.

The two sides will also "maintain contacts to identify the rest and look after the wounded", SPA added under the agreement struck between Saudi health minister Khaled al-Falih and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Hashemi.

It said the Saudi minister "stressed the kingdom's government's wish to cooperate with the Islamic Republic of Iran".

Tehran claimed last week that Saudi authorities have failed to issue visas for Iranian officials who sought to travel to the kingdom to facilitate the repatriation of the dead and the injured.

The two regional rivals were already at odds over Iran's support for Houthi rebels in Yemen, which lies on Saudi Arabia's southern flank. That prompted Riyadh to form a coalition of Arab nations to combat the Huthis.

"Saudi officials are failing to do their duties," Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech to graduating navy officers, following delays in the return of the Haj dead, accusing some of the officials of “slyness".

“They should know that the slightest disrespect towards tens of thousands of Iranian pilgrims in Mecca and Medina and not fulfilling their obligation to transfer holy bodies will have Iran's tough and fierce reaction. “
