Crowds rally in Iran against Saudi Arabia ahead of hajj

TEHRAN- Thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets to protest against Saudi Arabia ahead of this year's hajj pilgrimage.

 

The demonstrators shouted "Death to Al Saud!" -- a reference to the kingdom's ruling family. State media reported similar protests across the country after Friday prayers.

 

Iranians won't be attending this year's pilgrimage as diplomatic ties between Shiite power and the Sunni-ruled kingdom remain severed amid tensions between the two Mideast nations.
