An Iranian official in the port of Chabahar, in an interview with local media, declared contracts with undocumented foreign nationals in Chabahar prohibited.

Javad Sepahi, the Deputy Governor of Sistan and Baluchestan and the Special Governor of Chabahar County added that citizens with a valid travel card will have their permits revoked at the slightest violation and will be detained and deported by security forces.

Javad Sepahi further said: "Any kind of contract, renting of residential or commercial units with undocumented foreign nationals in Chabahar is prohibited. Foreign nationals with a valid travel permit will have their permit canceled upon the smallest infraction and will be arrested and deported at the earliest opportunity by the security forces. Cooperation and coordination among the members of the task force with the relevant departments is very important, and no negligence will be tolerated because the health and security of our people is our red line."

Hakim, who went to Iran with his family three years ago and has now been deported from the country, told TOLOnews: "I was at work when I heard that they had taken them from inside the house. I was coming home when I was also detained by the patrol. I didn't have the opportunity to come and get the others."

Hakim, his sister, and his brother's wife have been deported from Iran, but his children and his sister's children remain in Iran.

Gol Bibi, who has been deported from Iran, said: "My four children are still in Iran; one is one year old, the second is four, the third is six, and the oldest is nine. There is only one woman left there to take care of them. We want either to be reunited with our children or for them to be brought here."

Alireza Karimi, a migrant rights activist, told TOLOnews: "The migration of Afghans is mostly due to insecurity, war, and economic problems. People leave their country in search of security and better living opportunities. The Islamic Emirate should provide housing, employment, and social and economic support, particularly in the healthcare sector, for returnees to Afghanistan."

Meanwhile, the International Organization for Migration has reported that the number of deported migrants from August 25 to 31 of this year has increased by 34% compared to the previous week from neighboring countries, with 70% of the deportees coming from Iran.

The International Organization for Migration added: "This week, the rate of deportees increased by 34% compared to migrants, and during this report, 70% of the deportees were from Iran."

In the past two years, neighboring countries, especially Iran and Pakistan, have accelerated the forced deportation of Afghan migrants.
