📰 What Happened
Iran's construction industry faces severe disruption following the mass deportation of undocumented Afghan migrant workers in July 2025. The deportations, centered at the Islam Qala border crossing, have created a significant labor shortage affecting major infrastructure projects. The exodus was documented by AFP on July 5, 2025, marking one of the largest forced migrations in the region's recent history.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The technological systems enabling mass deportation coordination and border control at Islam Qala represent unprecedented capabilities for population management and economic control. The ability to rapidly remove and track large worker populations through digital documentation and surveillance aligns with prophetic descriptions of end-times population movements and economic controls. This demonstrates how modern border technology enables the type of rapid demographic shifts described in eschatological texts about regional upheavals and economic disruptions.
