In a troubling development, Iran has reportedly begun expelling large numbers of Afghan refugees and migrants following allegations that Israeli intelligence operatives were using Afghan nationals to conduct spying activities within Iranian territory. These claims have heightened tensions between Tehran and Kabul, placing vulnerable Afghan populations at increased risk amid a growing humanitarian crisis.
The Iranian government alleges that some Afghan individuals residing in the country have been recruited or coerced by Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, to gather sensitive information. In response, authorities have intensified crackdowns on Afghan communities, including mass deportations, arrests, and increased surveillance.
This move not only strains Iran’s already complicated relationship with Afghanistan but also exacerbates the plight of millions of Afghans fleeing ongoing conflict, economic hardship, and persecution. International organizations warn that forced expulsions without proper protections may violate human rights and worsen regional instability. 
As diplomatic efforts continue to address security concerns, the humanitarian consequences of this policy unfold, highlighting the delicate balance between national security and the protection of vulnerable migrant populations.
