The Iranian Red Crescent Society reported that as of Tuesday, June 10, the total number of Iranian pilgrims who have passed away during Hajj 2025 has reached 18.
The reason for these deaths was not specified, but rising temperatures in the region could be one of them, as the pilgrims have been cautioned to avoid any kind of direct exposure to the sun and to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
The pilgrims have also been advised to engage in other crucial activities to reduce the risk of heatstroke in the current weather conditions during the holy pilgrimage.
