Reuters: Iran Expelling Afghan Refugees at Alarming Rate During War

Iran has dramatically accelerated the expulsion of Afghan refugees amid its conflict with Israel, according to a Reuters report citing UN estimates. While Iran typically deports around 2,000 Afghans per day, officials now estimate an average of 30,000 expulsions daily during the ongoing war — a staggering fifteenfold increase. Tehran claims the expulsions are tied to suspicions of espionage and alleged Afghan collaboration with Israel. The United Nations has expressed growing concern over the mass deportations, which come as Afghanistan faces worsening economic and humanitarian crises.
