Following the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran, the Iranian government has initiated a broad internal crackdown marked by mass arrests, house raids, and executions. Reports indicate that approximately 1,500 Iranians, including academics, musicians, students, dissidents, and poets, have been detained. Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has criticized the regime for using the conflict as a pretext to intensify repression, emphasizing that the campaign aims to silence dissent rather than achieve victory. Additionally, the Iranian government has targeted Afghan migrants, conducting widespread expulsions often without regard for humanitarian considerations. Some deported migrants have reported that Iranian police have forcibly torn up their passports and expelled even those with legal residency documents. This crackdown has also had repercussions beyond Iran's borders, as Iranian Americans face increased anti-immigrant sentiment and dangers in the United States in the aftermath of the war.
