Saudi Arabia: 1.5 million join Hajj pilgrimage despite war

Saudi Arabia is hosting the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage, expected to draw around 1.5 million Muslim pilgrims, despite ongoing conflict with Iran that has led to direct strikes on Saudi territory, travel warnings from Western nations, logistical challenges, and increased costs for participants. While experts believe Iran is unlikely to deliberately target sacred sites, concerns remain over accidental risks like debris from intercepted missiles, though most pilgrims have proceeded with their plans due to strong religious commitment and pre-existing financial and logistical preparations.
