UN Urges Investigation into Alleged Mass Killing of Afghan Migrants at Iran Border

Reports suggest Iranian border forces attacked Afghan migrants, but Iran denies any such incident occurred.

The United Nations has called for a transparent investigation into reports of a deadly attack on Afghan migrants by Iranian security forces at the Afghanistan-Iran border.
Witnesses and advocacy groups claim that dozens of Afghan migrants were killed or injured in the alleged attack, which Iran has categorically denied.
The Taliban has initiated an investigation, marking their first official acknowledgment of the incident, and dispatched a high-ranking delegation to gather facts.
Tensions between Iran and Afghanistan have been rising due to the influx of Afghan migrants escaping the Taliban's rule and Iran's economic struggles under Western sanctions.
Iranian authorities have announced plans to deport 2 million undocumented migrants, intensifying the already strained relations between the two countries over migration issues.
