Migrants fleeing war in Iran have arrived in France to cross the Channel to the UK - and say many more will be following them.
Aspiring asylum seekers have been gathering at camps near Calais and Dunkirk following air strikes led by the US and Israel on their homeland - and now aim to board small boats to Britain.
Dozens of people are said to have arrived in vans at the Loon-Plage migrant camp in Dunkirk after travelling from Iran via Turkey.
The European Union's asylum agency has warned that conflict in Iran could produce an influx of migrants of an 'unprecedented magnitude'.
The new wave of Iranian refugees follows not only the latest military onslaughts but also the 12-day war launched by Israel last June and the Iranian regime's violent crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators this year.
The busiest day for small boat arrivals this year was on February 26, with 605 reported as coming over by the Home Office.
Another 275 made the journey on Wednesday this week, taking this year's tally of migrant crossings to 2,688 people in 42 boats.
A total of 41,472 migrants arrived in the UK in 2025 after crossing the English Channel, the second highest annual figure on record and 13 per cent higher than the previous year.

No. They home and take their country back.
Just sayin'.
👍👍👍
I wonder how many millions are going to end up here.
This is usually what happens when the neocons decide to get a war going. We will end up with more of what we need to be rid of. Ugh
Relax, unlike Britain, our borders are closed. Trump isn’t Bush.
> Migrants fleeing war in Iran have arrived in France… <
Well, that was quick. Did they take an express train?
Keir says “welcome to Fantasy Island!”
Oh really? Funny you bring that up. He is hanging out with Condoleeza Rice down at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.
Doin’ the Full Neocon! LOL
We’ll see. I’m betting the borders remain closed.
How did they get from Iran to France to the UK??
I'll take the Iranians any day over the muzzies. The people ruling Iran today are muslims. They are not Persians.That country was taken over by the muslims, just like New York city will be taken over soon.
so useless people running country borders, or even state borders. I doesn’t fix anything really. the people feel temporarily better but bring their old ways and thinking with them and muck up the place they arrive.
If only people would ask God for help in changing themselves and follow through, they could over come more evil, instead of just running from it, which lets it still fester and slowly metastasize.
“Well, that was quick. Did they take an express train?”
Many Afghans speak Dari, which I understand is very close to Farsi, the most popular language in Iran.
Maybe for now, But if this thing goes on and on, we will end up with more muzzards than ever.
That’s some trek. I worked with an Iranian gal in CA years ago who got out of Iran with her young son, with a guide and riding on donkeys over the mountains into Turkey..I don’t remember what they did after they got to Turkey. It was a very interesting story...
What city in Iran did you come from?
Whereabouts did you live in that city?
Is this something in your city, or not?
