Iran drives out 1.5 million Afghans, with some branded spies for Israel

The article discusses the deportation of Afghan refugees from Iran, with reports of some Afghans being branded as spies for Israel. Since a war with Israel in June, Iran has intensified its efforts to expel Afghan refugees, with an estimated 1.5 million being driven out. Some of the deported Afghans claim they were subjected to physical abuse, including beatings, during the deportation process. The article suggests that the crackdown on Afghan refugees in Iran is part of a broader political agenda, rather than being solely based on concerns over security or immigration policies. The situation highlights the plight of Afghan refugees, who are often caught in the crossfire of regional tensions and geopolitical conflicts. The article raises concerns about the treatment of vulnerable populations and the potential human rights violations occurring during the forced deportations.
