Iran has announced plans to deport two million Afghan migrants over the next six months. This decision comes amid growing frustration among Iranians due to years of economic crisis. Ahmad-Reza Radan, head of Iran’s national police, confirmed the expulsion programme, which is one of the largest in recent history. Reports indicate that shops in at least one province have been ordered not to sell food to Afghans.
