Hundreds of Iranians to be Deported to Iran on U.S. Immigration Charges, Tehran Official States

The United States will deport hundreds of Iranians back to Iran in the coming weeks, with the first 120 deportees being prepared for a flight in the next day or two, Iran said Tuesday. The deportation of Iranians, not yet publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government, has sparked outrage and concern over the fate of those being sent back to Iran, especially considering the strained relations between the two countries. Iran has criticized the move, calling it inhumane and a violation of human rights.
