The Spin
Anti-Iran narrative
Iran's brutal deportation of over 450,000 Afghans in 2025 represents a callous betrayal of decades-long hospitality, stripping 2 million of legal protections and forcing families into Taliban-controlled territory. This unconscionable crackdown violates international law, separates children from schools, and condemns vulnerable refugees to destitution — a shameful culmination of systemic persecution masquerading as migration management.
Pro-Iran narrative
Iran's mass deportation of undocumented Afghans reflects legitimate national security imperatives amid escalating regional threats and espionage concerns. After hosting over four million refugees for decades while facing crippling sanctions and Israeli attacks, Iran cannot indefinitely shoulder Afghanistan's humanitarian burden alone. Protecting sovereignty and stability isn't cruelty — it's responsible governance amid mounting challenges.
