This marks the first time Iran has weaponized mass migration expulsion following a conflict with Israel, creating an unprecedented religious-ethnic cleansing campaign. The scale (410,000 in one month) and the systematic approach (new migration organization, border walls) represents a shift from periodic deportations to structured elimination of religious minorities, particularly targeting Afghanistan's predominantly Sunni population.

📰 What Happened
Iran has intensified its crackdown on Afghan migrants following its 12-day war with Israel in June 2025, expelling over 410,000 people. The UN reports 1.5 million Afghans have been deported in 2025, with another million expected by year's end. Of Iran's 6.1 million Afghan population, only 780,000 have refugee status. The country is constructing border walls and establishing a national migration organization while restricting migrants' economic rights. 'We're being singled out because we're easy targets,' says Ahmad, an undocumented worker earning $80 monthly.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The creation of Iran's national migration organization combined with the mass expulsion of 1.5 million Afghans reveals an emerging system of religious discrimination that aligns with end-time apostasy predictions. The restriction of bank accounts for migrants ($80 monthly salary requires Iranian intermediaries) mirrors Revelation's economic controls. The construction of border walls specifically targeting religious minorities echoes Daniel's prophecies about the king of the north's territorial actions. This systematic purge of predominantly Sunni Afghans from Shiite Iran represents an acceleration of religious-based persecution that fulfills 2 Timothy's warnings about increased hostility toward religious minorities.
