An Iranian cleric says that the leaders of the caravans were afraid of acids and would not sign him up for the Hajj under the Shah. He finally made the pilgrimage in 1979, a ten-day Hajj given by those killed in Al-Halti, and according to him, this only intensified his longing to visit the Kaaba shrine and the prophets in the country.
