Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni has highlighted the country’s limited capacity to host undocumented foreign nationals, currently estimated at two million, primarily from Afghanistan. The government prioritizes their repatriation due to concerns over job market impacts and resource strain. Over the past year, Iran deported over one million undocumented individuals, with many returning voluntarily. Discussions between Iranian and Afghan officials aim to address the situation, emphasizing the need for cooperation and humane treatment of migrants. Afghanistan’s plans for the voluntary return of refugees include constructing residential townships. The situation underscores the necessity for collaborative solutions to manage the refugee crisis.
