Iran to expel 2 MILLION illegal migrants

Authorities in Iran are planning to deport no fewer than two million people without legal residency status by the end of March 2025

The commander of the security forces, Ahmad-Resa Radan said this on Tuesday.

A debate about the large number of migrants from neighbouring Afghanistan, who have been fleeing their country since the Taliban takeover in 2021, has been raging in Iran for months.

Earlier, the Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, stressed the plight of Afghans, saying they were “cultured people” but added that Iran “cannot take in so many migrants”.

“We have a plan to deal with this matter in an organised and non-agitated way, and the priority is the illegal migrants,” Momeni said.
