Hundreds of Iranians who have detained American immigration charges to be deported to Iran: Tehran official

Iran said on Tuesday that the United States will deport hundreds of Iranians to Iran in the coming weeks, with the first 120 deportation of a trip per day or two days.

The deportation of the Iranians, which is not recognized by the US government, comes as the tensions remain high between the two countries after the American bombings of Iranian nuclear sites in June.

Meanwhile, the United Nations re -imposed sanctions on Iran last week because of its nuclear program, which made new pressure on the sick economy of the Islamic Republic.

The deportation also represents a top priority collision for US President Donald Trump-who is targeting illegal immigration-against decades-long practice by the United States to welcome Iranian, exiles and others since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Iranian state television, which is up to 400 Iranians who will return to Iran as part of the deal with the United States, citing Hussein Nusabadi, Director General of Parliamentary Affairs at the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He said that the majority of these people crossed the United States illegally from Mexico, while some faced other migration issues.

Nosabadi said that the first agent of the Iranians would arrive in a day or two, after they stopped in Qatar on the way. The authorities in Qatar did not confirm this.

The US State Department referred questions to the Ministry of Internal Security, which did not respond immediately.

What is not clear what led to deportation

In the period before and after the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, a large number of Iranians fled to the United States in decades since, the United States has been sensitive to allowing those fleeing Iran due to religious, sexual or political persecution to search for residency.

In the fiscal year 2024, for example, the United States deported only 20 Iranians, according to American immigration and customs enforcement statistics.

Iran has criticized Washington to host dissidents and others in the past. American -American public prosecutors accused Iran of employing men to target dissidents as well as in America.

It is not clear exactly what has now changed in US policy. However, since his return to the White House, Trump has coordinated those who live in the United States illegally.

Nosabadi said that the American authorities made the decision unilaterally without consultations with Iran.

But the New York Times said on Tuesday, noting that the unknown Iranian officials were that the deportations were “the culmination of the most famous discussions between the two countries.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragichi and President Masoud Bezishian attended the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week as another effort to stop the sanctions imposed. However, the supreme leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khounai is surrounded by their efforts by describing diplomacy with the United States as a “dead end”.

Speaking to government television in shots broadcast on Tuesday, Aragcha acknowledged that direct communication from Iran went to the United States government during the United Nations visit – something that was keen not to highlight it during five rounds of nuclear negotiations with the Americans earlier this year.

“With the Americans, directly and indirectly, the messages were exchanged, and in the end we felt comfortable because we did everything necessary,” said Aragchchi. “It was clear and clear to us after the interpretation that the supreme leader conducted that negotiations with the Americans are a clear and clear path.”
