Iran has expelled over half a million Afghan refugees in the past two weeks following the recent conflict with Israel. The United Nations has highlighted this as one of the most significant forced migrations of the decade, raising concerns about the treatment of displaced populations and the humanitarian implications in the region. This mass expulsion marks a significant development in Iran's domestic and foreign policy approach amid heightened regional tensions.

In other news, the situation around Iran’s nuclear capabilities remains tense. While President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. military had successfully obliterated Iran's nuclear sites with a B-2 raid, reports suggest that some enriched uranium might have survived the assault. This discrepancy has become a point of contention, with Israeli officials paying close attention to Iran's ability to recover any nuclear material.

Additionally, an Israeli official mentioned that a U.S. strike possibly buried enriched uranium under an Iranian facility. The observation implies ongoing scrutiny and concerns from Israel regarding Iran’s nuclear activities, reflecting the strategic importance both countries place on monitoring and managing nuclear developments in the region.

These events highlight the complex geopolitical landscape facing Iran, balancing its internal demographic challenges with external pressures related to its nuclear program and relations with neighboring countries. These issues remain central to international discussions involving Iran, as global attention continues to focus on its policies and actions.
