Iran and Turkey are expected to settle their dispute over gas pricing within the next month, Managing Director for international affairs of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) Mohsen Qamsari says.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the scale of imprudence on the part of Saudi authorities in dealing with the recent crush that occurred in Mina near the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca is unacceptable.

In regard to the tragedy in Mina, Ayatollah Alavi-Gorgani noted that although death is a fact of life, sometimes human negligence and malice cause the deaths of innocent and oppressed people.

A fact-finding committee must be formed to investigate the recent deadly crush during the Hajj rituals in Mina, outside the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a senior Iranian cleric says.
