Bus Crash in Iran Kills 28 Pakistani Pilgrims
A tragic bus accident in Yazd, Iran, claimed the lives of at least 28 Pakistani Shiite pilgrims who were en route to Iraq for the Arbaeen commemorations. The crash occurred late on Tuesday night and involved a bus carrying 51 passengers, resulting in 23 injuries, with 14 reported as serious. Local emergency official Mohammad Ali Malekzadeh confirmed the details and noted that the cause of the accident remains undetermined. The pilgrims were participating in one of the largest Shiite observances, marking the 40th day of mourning for Imam Hussein. Iran's traffic safety issues are notoriously severe, with around 17,000 fatalities annually attributed to poor adherence to traffic laws and unsafe vehicles. Investigations into this incident, along with a separate bus crash in Sistan and Baluchestan province, are ongoing.
