Jubeir stressed that Tehran is politicizing the human tragedy. "We have previously said that it is unacceptable to use such human tragedy politically, which happened while people were performing a religious ritual," Minister Al-Jubeir said. The foreign minister concluded by saying, "The Iranians know very well that the Kingdom will do everything in its capacity to provide and facilitate visits to the holy sites in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Iranians realize that the Kingdom is doing tremendous work for the service of the guests of Makkah. And I believe what they said contradicts the idea of sovereignty and non-interference. The Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques was clear when he ordered a thorough investigation and will hold any individual or organization accountable if found guilty. This investigation is ongoing and we will make the result public. The Iranians are the last to speak of Hajj and pilgrims, because they have caused chaos multiple times in the past, through protests in the 80s which resulted in a number of death due to their riots."
