Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said that the Saudi government should be held accountable for Mina tragedy.

He said that Saudi rulers who claim to protect Islamic teachings prevented formation of an international Islamic fact-finding committee about Mina tragedy, reports ISNA.

Ghassemi noted that results of inefficiency in orchestrating Hajj rituals and the human tragedy are because the rulers who not only did not express sorrow over killing thousands of Hajj performers, but also are taking regional Muslim nations as victim of their deceitful political games directly or indirectly.
