TEHRAN – The Iranian deputy foreign minister for consular affairs has said that it is not still clear whether the Saudi Arabian intelligence body was involved in death of the country’s pilgrims in Iran.

Hassan Qashqavi made the remarks in an interview with Al-Alam TV channel aired on Sunday.

He stated that more investigations will be done and no certain result has been achieved yet.

Earlier in June, four Saudi pilgrims died and 23 were hospitalized after they were poisoned while staying in a hotel in the shrine city of Mashhad in northeast Iran.
