Former Afghan general urges Afghan migrants to leave Tehran

Sami Sadat, a former senior Afghan army commander, has warned that “very heavy weapons” may be used in Tehran in the coming days and urged Afghan migrants to leave the city.

In a post on social media platform X, Sadat also advised Afghan nationals in Iran to avoid gatherings and stay away from government facilities, citing information suggesting the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict could result in “high civilian casualties.”

“To all Afghans in Iran: avoid travel, avoid crowds, and avoid major cities, especially Tehran,” Sadat wrote.
