The Ministry of Religious Affairs has temporarily stopped the preparation of the Hajj flight schedule due to the tense situation caused by attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel. Sources indicated that the current developments could affect the flight schedule; however, preparations will proceed with careful consideration of the circumstances.
Despite possible delays in the schedule, visa issuance for pilgrims has already begun and is being conducted around the clock. Two-thirds of pilgrims have received their visas, while the issuance process for 120,000 pilgrims continued over the weekend, with Ministry staff suspending their weekend leaves to ensure smooth operations.
