Many years ago, many people were forced to flee as they were forced out of their county after soviet invaded. Now, after increasing conflicts between Iran and the U.S, the Refugees are once again trying to flee Iran to seek new shelters in Turkey. The refugees are trying to escape to Turkey because of new sanctions set up by Trump on Tehran.to escape the dire economic conditions fueled by U.S. sanctions on Tehran.
Thousands of people made the dangerous, cross-border trek last year into Turkey. Turkey is a U.S. partner that has already given shelter to many refugees.
Turkish officials are engaging with nearly 4 million refugees at present. As per the reports, this is the world’s largest population of relocated people. It has been said that more than 170,000 refugees are living in shelters in Turkey.

About 50 miles west of the Iranian border, a burgeoning number of Afghan refugees are required to sleep on the roads and in public parks and bus stations and are prohibited by Turkish authorities from moving farther.
This recent disaster is one of the unexpected outcomes of President Trump’s “maximum pressure” operations, which his department expects will force Tehran to negotiate a conclusion to its nuclear energy and ballistic missile plans.
Trump’s strategy comprises a broad trade embargo with restraints on banking transactions, oil exports, supplies to Iran’s automotive sector. In November, Iran suddenly increased the price of gas to raise its funds for cash handouts and set off a wave of a nationwide controversy.
Refugees who have begun the journey of fleeing from their home county have described challenging treks over rough terrain scattered with the bodies of those who died along the way. As per the reports, many of them died from exhaustion or were separated from their families.
The authorities have asked refugees to assemble at the bus station while local authorities prepare to register the new immigrants. Once concocted, they are either transported to another city, moved into a secured tent camp, or are deported to Afghanistan.
Iran treats about 1 million Afghan refugees who are listed with the United Nations and allowed to work in certain businesses. Afghans started appearing in large numbers after the 1979 Soviet incursion of their country.
Relief agencies and the United Nations say that as many as 3 million Afghans remain in Iran, most of whom are without any official documents and are uniquely exposed to economic and social conflict.
When the United States reimposed sanctions in 2018, Afghanis were among the first to experience the result. Imports fell, and prices soared. This put essential food items out of reach for many Afghan families. Business owners suspended payments to employees or laid-off workers, calling the decline in trade.
