An Iranian pilgrim pushes his luggage upon his return from Saudi Arabia after performing the annual haj pilgrimage, at Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran September 28, 2015. For regional adversaries at loggerheads over the crises in Iraq, Syria and Yemen, the disaster at the haj is unlikely to be a game changer in the contest between Iran and Saudi Arabia, merely adding venom to their mutual acrimony. Iran says it lost at least 169 pilgrims when two large groups of pilgrims converged on Thursday at a crossroads in Mina, a few kilometres east of Mecca, on their way to perform the "stoning of the devil" ritual at Jamarat.
