Nine people were killed, and 15 others injured when a passenger bus collided with a fuel tanker on the Sefidabeh-Zahedan highway in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan province. Behruz Hanpur, head of Iran’s Highway Traffic Operations, stated the crash occurred at 10:15 local time and involved a bus traveling from Zahedan to Gorgan. Initial findings attribute the accident to poor terrain conditions and a sudden maneuver by the tanker driver. Rescue teams transported the injured to the hospital, and investigations are ongoing.
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims visiting Saudi Arabia for Hajj are now arriving in Medina after completing the pilgrimage rituals in Mecca. Pilgrims travel 575 kilometers to Medina to offer prayers and visit the Prophet Muhammad’s tomb. Many perform 40 sunnah prayers at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and visit sacred sites such as Rawda-i Mutahhara, Uhud Martyrs’ Cemetery, Baqi Cemetery, and Quba Mosque. Pilgrims greet the Prophet daily through the Babüsselam gate, following the hadith promising intercession for visitors to his grave. Departures from Medina will continue until July 10 for pilgrims from Türkiye.
