This team will assess the needs of working teams in Iran and address identity problems of Afghan migrants in the country Mohammad Nabi Nosrat called facilitating the identity verification process for migrants in Iran one of the main objectives of this trip.
He assured that comprehensive efforts will be made to solve migrants’ identity problems.
This action comes as many migrants face identity uncertainty amid intensified deportations of Afghans from Iran.

Previously, some migrants said the Taliban doesn’t recognize them as Afghans while Iran doesn’t recognize them as Iranians.
