Since late February, between 600,000 and one million Iranian households—up to 3.2 million people—have fled their homes, according to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Most are fleeing from Tehran and other major urban areas toward the rural north, escaping strikes that began on February 28.
The human toll has been severe. Thousands of people have been killed across the Middle East. As of March 22, 3,231 people had been killed in Iran, of which 1,407 were civilians including 214 children, according to U.S.-based rights group HRANA. Thirteen U.S. service members had been killed. Strikes have been reported in more than a dozen countries, and in Lebanon nearly 1 million people have been displaced after Israel escalated hostilities with Hezbollah.
The European Union Agency for Asylum has issued a stark warning: with Iran’s population of approximately 90 million, even partial destabilization could generate refugee movements of an “unprecedented magnitude.” The agency noted that displacement of just 10 percent of Iran’s population would rival the largest refugee flows of recent decades.

That being said: Iranian communities are already well-established and assimilated in many places and don't have same reputation for radical sects.
Notice they MEVER flee to other Muslim countries. It’s ALWAYS a predominant White country where they want to go.
The ones fleeing are the worst of the worst (family of the IRGC) because they know vengeance is coming for them by the true Iranian people.
If the IRGC is left to take over, there will be a mass exodus
Colonization.
Here too.
Don’t care.
Can’t make me care.

Europe is so stupid they’ll let them in.
The destruction of Western Civilization runs apace.
Islam is so harmful, everyone is always fleeing it.
Like rats with fleas with The Plague.
There are a lot of Muslim countries between Iran and Europe . Any Iranian that “flees” to a western nation is not a refugee
“Refugee crisis” = manufactured.
Evidence:
“European Union Agency for Asylum”
(newsweak carries water yet again /s)
Here we go again
I’d be a lot happier with Iranian refugees than refugees from Syria or Arab countries. Iranian refugees are probably young people who aren’t Muslim and who probably hate Islam.
Iranian refugees are probably young people who aren’t Muslim and who probably hate Islam
That’s not what you’re going to get.
I know evidence is hard to come by in authoritarian Iran, but there is evidence that the majority of young people - people under 35 make up half of the population - are Muslim in name only. They don't go to mosque. They hate the government. They are secular as a result of living under years of an Islamic government that is a combination of harshly religious, incompetent and cruel. I know its not easy to predict, but Iran is probably more like East Europe than Afghanistan or Syria.
Europe?
Why Europe? There are plenty of islamic nations all throughout the middle east.
It’s only a “crisis” if Europe allows it.
It’s open borders that drive the so called “refugee crises.” Once you open the borders, it’s pretty much guaranteed that self-styled refugees will come flocking in.
Its the marxist universal human right of free access to white people and their stuff.
They’ll flee to the US as well (and, Australia, NZ and Canada) - Always, always, always White countries - never Muslim countries.
Same happened with Syrians and Afghanis.
Ignored in the story is Tehran residence have been fleeing due to lack of water.
