Funeral Ceremony of Mina Stampede Victims

Heads of three powers attend the funeral ceremony of Iranians who lost their lives in Mina Stampede. More than 400 Iranian pilgrims died in what has been the deadliest incident in hajj's history. Relations between Tehran and Riyadh, already in their low, have become strained as a result of the incident. Tehran blames Riyadh for its mismanagement, while Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of turning the problem into a sectarian issue.
