\u201cSince the attack, we are all shocked. I was working in a factory but our work has been temporarily stopped. No reason was given behind the shutting down, but apparently the reason for stopping our work is due to concerns about a possible Israeli attack,\u201d Jamshid said.<\/p>\n
He also said after the increase in tensions between Iran and Israel, the process of deporting undocumented immigrants from Iran has been increased in an unprecedented manner.<\/p>\n
Nisrat Sekandari, another Afghan refugee said that police forces are everywhere in the cities and roads and they detain and deport Afghan immigrants without documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have a legal stay document, so I quit my job for a few days and I don\u2019t go out of the house,\u201d he lamented. He said that he tried to get documents, but the procedure is very difficult and failed to obtain legal documents and expressed fear of being deported to Afghanistan anytime when police catch him.<\/p>\n
Refugees can\u2019t return to Afghanistan due to security reasons<\/strong><\/p>\n The Afghan refugees emphasize that in the event of a possible Israeli attack on Iran, the lives of millions of Afghan immigrants in that country will be in danger.<\/p>\n Maryam, is the daughter of one of the soldiers of the previous Afghan government, said that they moved to Iran after the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n \u201cWe, the immigrants, are very worried about Israel\u2019s attacks on Iran, because we can no longer return to the country. My father used to be a soldier, and if we return, he will either be arrested or killed by the Taliban like thousands of other soldiers,\u201d Maryam lamented.<\/p>\n Weas Naseri, a political expert said that it is impossible for Afghan immigrants to return to the country due to security and political problems.<\/p>\n \u201cIn a situation where Iran itself is exposed to the danger of an attack by the countries of Israel with the cooperation of US, France, UK and other countries, therefore the lives of millions of our immigrant compatriots in Iran is in danger,\u201d Naseri added.<\/p>\n He furthered, \u201cconsidering the current edgy situation in the region and the world, a very large and widespread war is likely to take place.\u201d<\/p>\n He said that due to possible war between Iran and Israel, it is better for the Taliban to make a general political change, and within a few weeks and months, a new step and political agreement should be established to facilitate a transitional government.<\/p>\n He said that Talian should form a government which should be acceptable to all Afghans, including the opposition parties.<\/p>\n Iran terms attack on Israel as a great success<\/strong><\/p>\n On Saturday night, Iran launched a massive attack of apparently over 300 missiles and drones toward Israel, and Iranian officials called the attack a success.<\/p>\n Iran\u2019s direct attack on Israel lasted several hours and Israel vowed to retaliate in a proper time which has taken the Middle East closer to a wider conflict.<\/p>\n Iran and Israel have been in tensions for many years and Iran since the 1979 revolution, took an anti-Israeli posture.<\/p>\n Other countries in the region like Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Palestine are having bitter ties, while other Arab countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and some others condemned Iran\u2019s attack on Israel.\u00a0 The West, mostly, condemned Iran for attacking Israel, but at the same encouraged Israel not to retaliate and maintain peace in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Iran\u2019s recent attack on Israel has worried Afghan immigrants in Iran who have sought refuge in that country mainly due to unemployment and security threats inside their country.
