Iran’s Final Warning: 4 Million Illegal Refugees Ordered Out by July 6 or Face Service Cutoff

 

Tehran Cracks Down as Deadline Looms—No Schools, Hospitals, or Jobs for Undocumented Migrants After July 6


In a sweeping move that has sparked international concern and regional anxiety, the Iranian government has issued a strict ultimatum to nearly 4 million undocumented refugees residing in the country: leave by July 6 or be cut off from essential public services.

The directive, announced by Iran’s Ministry of Interior, warns that illegal migrants—mostly from neighboring Afghanistan—who fail to leave voluntarily will lose access to education, healthcare, employment, and other vital state services.

“This is the final deadline,” a senior official stated, emphasizing the country’s strained resources and security concerns. “We can no longer afford to carry this burden.”

The announcement comes amid growing internal pressure and an economic downturn that officials blame, in part, on the unchecked influx of illegal immigrants.

Rights groups have criticized the plan, calling it a potential humanitarian disaster, especially for families who fled conflict and poverty.

But Iranian authorities argue that the crackdown is necessary to preserve national stability and enforce immigration laws. Authorities have also launched awareness campaigns and established repatriation centers to facilitate “voluntary returns.”

With the clock ticking toward the July 6 deadline, anxiety is mounting across refugee communities, and international observers are urging Tehran to ensure a safe and humane process.

Whether this move will stabilize Iran’s internal challenges or trigger a fresh wave of regional migration chaos remains to be seen.
