This marks the first mass deportation justified through digital surveillance and cyber-espionage claims, rather than traditional economic or social factors. The use of technology to identify and track Afghan nationals, combined with the unprecedented scale (700,000 in just two months) and the specific targeting of educated individuals with digital devices (like Habiba's laptop), represents a new paradigm in population control.
Iran Expels 700K Afghans: Digital Surveillance Drives Mass Exodus
📰 What Happened
Nearly 700,000 Afghan nationals have been expelled from Iran since June 2025, with Iranian authorities citing security concerns and alleged espionage for Israel. The mass deportation includes educated professionals like Habiba, a 31-year-old engineering student forced to abandon her studies. While Iranian officials claim 70% left voluntarily, the UN refugee agency reports forced deportations across the 920km Iran-Afghanistan border, creating a humanitarian crisis as returnees struggle to rebuild lives under Taliban restrictions.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The technological infrastructure enabling Iran to track and expel 700,000 people in 60 days demonstrates capabilities required for end-times population control. Habiba's experience shows how digital footprints (laptops, documents) are now used to categorize and control populations. The 920km border monitoring system reveals how modern surveillance can manage mass movements across vast territories. These developments align with Daniel 12:4's prophecy of increased knowledge enabling unprecedented control, while the targeting of specific ethnic groups through digital means mirrors Revelation 13's description of controlled movement and commerce based on identity markers.
