Pilgrims await Hajj flight schedule amid Middle East tensions
(Web Desk): The Ministry of Religious Affairs has paused preparing the Hajj flight schedule amid rising tensions over potential U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.

 Sources indicate that while the current situation may impact the flight schedule, it will be prepared with these circumstances in mind.

Despite potential delays, visa issuance for pilgrims has already begun and continues around the clock.

Two-thirds of pilgrims have received their visas, and the process for 120,000 pilgrims progressed over the weekend, with ministry staff working through Saturday and Sunday.

The Ministry of Religious Affairs stated that the Hajj schedule is being finalized rapidly and is expected to be released before Eid‑ul‑Fitr.

Additionally, sources confirmed that the second phase of pilgrim training will commence immediately after Eid‑ul‑Fitr, with all training materials and schedules already prepared.
