A number of Afghan refugees living in Iran have expressed concern over the continuation of Israeli attacks on Iran.

According to them, the ongoing tensions have brought various challenges, including economic, psychological, and mental stress.

Enayat Alokozai, an Afghan refugee residing in Iran, told TOLOnews: "Israeli attacks on Iran have caused anxiety among Afghan refugees and have negatively impacted their economic and mental well-being."

Rahimullah Safi, another Afghan refugee in Iran, said: "Afghans have been affected by this situation, and job opportunities for our fellow citizens have significantly diminished."

The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation on Monday called on Afghan refugees in Iran to stay away from sensitive military sites, political gatherings, and partisan activities.

A spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate also stated that the Afghan government is in contact with Iranian officials to ensure the safety of Afghan refugees and to address their concerns.

Saleem Paigir, a political analyst, told TOLOnews: "Afghan refugees should not interfere in Iran's internal or foreign politics. In addition, the Ministry of Refugees is obligated to take urgent steps to ensure the dignified repatriation of Afghan refugees who are either residing in or stranded in Iran."

Juma Khan Poya, a migrant rights activist, said: "Refugees are worried that they might be harmed or neglected by the host government. Therefore, it is the Islamic Emirate’s responsibility to address the concerns of Afghan refugees in Iran through its embassy."

In recent months, Afghan refugees in Iran and neighboring countries have faced increasing challenges, including forced deportations and mistreatment by police in Iran and Pakistan. Now, the latest tensions between Israel and Iran have further intensified the hardships faced by these refugees.
