 Iran vowed to take legal action against Saudi Arabia after more than 700 people were killed in a stampede at this year's hajj.

The pilgrims suffocated or were trampled to death on Thursday when two massive crowds converged on a narrow street. At least 136 of the those who died were Iranian, making up the largest group of causalities identified.

Shiite Iran is accusing Sunni Saudi Arabia of not handling the annual pilgrimage, which draws over two million people, correctly.

Saudi Arabia has not responded to the Iranian accusations regarding the convoy.
