Talk of regime change resonates with Iranians fleeing across border

13 hours ago

As talks of regime change intensify, thousands of Iranians have been crossing the border, fleeing the potential consequences. The Iranian foreign minister has criticized the discussions, calling them irresponsible and harmful. Meanwhile, analysts suggest that the threat of military intervention is fueling the outflow of civilians. This news comes as countries in the region are preparing for the potential arrival of thousands of Afghan refugees should the situation deteriorate. On another note, the deputy ambassador from the Iranian mission has been dismissed from his post for assaulting a journalist.

Iranian Foreign Minister's Statement

We regard such discussions and calls as irresponsible, primarily contributing to threats to regional peace and security, including the overall stability of Iran.

Analyst Reactions

Many civilians are concerned about the potential backlash from regime change, and we're seeing an increase in refugees crossing into neighboring countries," said Fara Azar, an analyst with the RAND Corporation.

If matters escalate, we could see a repeat of the refugee crisis in Afghanistan, with countries across the region being pressured to accept and accommodate thousands seeking asylum," added Azar.
