Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, announced in his first press conference as the 14th President of Iran that undocumented Afghan nationals will be returned to Afghanistan.
He emphasized that three meetings have already been held in Iran’s Security Council to address the issue of foreign nationals. Pezeshkian stated, “Some have legal passports and visas, but others entered the country illegally and should have followed the law.”
Recently, Iran has ramped up deportations of undocumented Afghan refugees and instructed Iranian citizens not to rent homes, shops, or employ these undocumented individuals.
