Turkiye Assigns AKINCI and S&R Helicopter for Iran
The Turkish Defence Ministry assigned an AKINCI and AS 532 CougarS&R helicopter to search for the Iranian President’s missing helicopter. . AKINCI identified a source of heat as a crash site. In a display of solidarity with its neighbouring country, Iran, the Turkish Defence Ministry has assigned an AKINCI and a Search and Rescue helicopter for the Iranian President’s helicopter. The AKINCI, with its advanced capabilities, has identified a source of heat, potentially a crash site, furthering the joint efforts of the two nations. The helicopter that carries Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the governor of East Azerbaijan Province Malik Rahmeti, and Hashim of Tabriz province Imam Ayatollah Ali lost contact yesterday. The destiny of the helicopter is unknown. Search and rescue operations started yesterday in Iran’s mountainous region under adverse weather conditions. Turkiye joined the efforts with an AKINCI UAV for ISR missions and a Cougar Search and Rescue helicopter. Anadolu News Agency reported that AKINCI identified a source of heat which might be originating from the crash site of the Iranian President’s helicopter. Turkiye informed local authorities about the heat source. President Raisi and his delegation attended an inauguration ceremony on the Iran-Azerbaijan border, which strengthened bilateral relations. Iranian state television reported that the accident occurred when Raisi’s helicopter made a hard landing while returning from the region.

Zitat:Iran’s presidential candidates shape two fronts in first debate

During the debate, the candidates presented contrasting views on the state of Iran’s economy and its relationship with the world. Two candidates, Pezeshkian and Pour-Mohammadi argued that the economy's improvement is contingent on normalising international relations, while the other four maintained that it can be bolstered through domestic manufacturing, even under strict sanctions.

Pour-Mohammadi said the economy cannot be separated from politics, saying the Islamic Republic needs to avoid confrontation with other countries and employ effective diplomacy to open up new opportunities, echoing the call from Pezeshkian.

Pezeshkian acknowledged the negative impacts of sanctions, saying it has hindered foreign investment and caused substantial loss in oil exports, not to mention the costs of circumventing the bans.

Apart from Qalibaf, who remained neutral and refused to disagree with any of the candidates, the other three directly attacked Pezeshkian and Pour-Mohammadi, accusing them of spreading despair and linking the country’s prosperity to foreigners.

Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani led the hardline front, blaming the two for what he called pursuing a “diplomacy of begging” in a snide hit at former Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who said he would return to the foreign ministry if Pezeshkian wins.

Zakani said normal relations do not necessarily guarantee economic prosperity, citing Turkey which is experiencing high inflation rates despite such international ties. The Tehran mayor, who has been heavily involved in selling government land and other potential corruption cases, is not well admired by many in the Iranian capital.

Echoing the words of the leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, he said sanctions should be neutralised inside the country without giving a specific goal for how to reach that.

Another hardline contender, Amir-Hossein Qazizadeh Hashemi said the country needs “internal power”, not one that can be harmed when a “paper” is torn by a government, referring to the US jumping out of the nuclear agreement.

He referred to the 2015 nuclear deal under which international sanctions were lifted but were later reimposed when the US withdrew in 2018.

Jalili rejected the idea that economic problems are rooted in sanctions, saying the US so-called “maximum pressure” has failed thanks to Raisi’s policies.

The four candidates continually praised Raisi’s performance, putting all the blame on his predecessor, Hassan Rouhani. In Iranian culture, it is poor form to attack the dead predecessor, despite the fact the national currency plummeted under his watch and he was president amid killings on the streets from the death of Mahsa Amini.

Pezeshkian and Pour-Mohammadi did not idolise Raisi or make any critical remarks, clearly marking their difference from the hardline conservatives.

Throughout the debate, Qalibaf cleverly avoided any confrontation and focused on his own plans.

Zitat:Iran becomes the second largest refugee hosting country as forced displacement hits new record high globally
14 June 2023

TEHRAN: UNHCR’s flagship annual report, Global Trends in Forced Displacement, found that by the end of 2022, the number of people displaced by war, persecution, violence, and human rights abuses stood at a record 108.4 million, up by 19.1 million from the year before, which was the biggest ever increase.

The full-scale war in Ukraine, alongside conflict elsewhere and climate-driven upheaval meant, globally, more people than ever remained uprooted from their homes last year, heightening the urgency for immediate, collective action to alleviate the causes and impact of displacement, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, said today.

Estimates for the number of refugees from Afghanistan were sharply higher by the end of 2022 due to revised estimates of Afghans hosted in the Islamic Republic of Iran following a headcount exercise conducted by the Government. With over 3.4 million refugee and refugee-like populations, Iran became the second largest refugee hosting country globally after Türkiye. Additionally, Iran hosts over 1.1 million Afghans of varying status including, 360,000 Afghans with Iranian resident permits, 267,000 family passport holders and 500,000 undocumented Afghans.

“These figures show us that some people are far too quick to rush to conflict, and way too slow to find solutions. The consequence is devastation, displacement, and anguish for each of the millions of people forcibly uprooted from their homes,” UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said.

The figures also confirmed that, whether measured by economic means or population ratios, it remains the world’s low- and middle-income countries, like Iran, that host the most displaced people. The 46 least developed countries account for less than 1.3 per cent of global gross domestic product, yet they hosted more than 20 per cent of all refugees.

Zitat:The Islamic Republic of Iran is host to the largest refugee population in the world, hosting 3.4 million refugees and people in refugee-like situation. The country has generously hosted refugees for over four decades.

Die Afghanen fliehen also in den Iran, während Afghanen welche im Iran geboren wurden aus dem Iran hierher kommen und dann behaupten aus Afghanistan zu sein, obwohl sie aus dem Iran sind.

Zitat:Wie werden Flüchtlinge im Iran eigentlich versorgt ? Gibt es dafür staatliche Leistungen / Flüchtlingslager / karitative Arbeit ? Gibt es im Iran Asylverfahren und falls ja, wie laufen diese ab ?

Zitat:According to the 2016 national census of Iran, most of the Afghan population lives in the five provinces of Tehran, Alborz, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi and Kerman. However, a year after the terrorist attacks in two shrines in April and October 2022, where Afghan nationals were among the perpetrators, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council decided to limit the presence of Afghans to half of the country (or 16 out of 31 provinces). Afghans in Iran are mainly employed in construction, agriculture, livestock farming and low status jobs in service sections where they form an army of low-paid workers who often receive less than the minimum wage and are not covered by social security. Some Afghans are still lucky enough to be employed in better paid jobs, but they are in the minority.

Western sanctions on the Islamic Republic, combined with the state’s mismanagement of resources, have had devastating effects on the economy, which include rampant inflation (annual rate: 40.2%, Nov 2023), devaluation of the Iranian currency, sky-rocketing housing prices and salaries which do not match the inflation. All those factors impact the lives of Afghans, too. They have been forced to mainly live in slums around big cities, impoverished suburban areas, or tolerate difficult living conditions in big cities such as Tehran. Nevertheless, Iran’s strict laws which prevent foreigners from obtaining citizenship, left many of the educated refugees or skilled workers from Afghanistan to depart Iran for European and North American countries. As a result, less educated and unskilled Afghans stayed in Iran, and occupied lower status jobs which Iranian citizens prefer not to do. Although some Afghan migrants succeeded in obtaining legal documents, they have never been looked at equally as an Iranian citizen: they are not allowed to vote or have a representative at the parliament, they cannot purchase properties or get a driving license. In short, nearly five decades since their first arrival, Afghans are seen as “second class” people and are deprived of a legal status.

Rising economic woes, unstable labour market and nationalistic propaganda by unknown Iranian groups who see all Afghans as Taliban members in the past two years have gradually shaped xenophobic sentiment which reflects in anti-Afghan language in Iranian society particularly on social media. Farsi hashtag “deporting Afghans a national demand”, is seen frequently. And this anti-Afghan feeling is gradually turning into a challenge to Iranian authorities and threatens the decades-long coexistence between Iranians and Afghans. As mentioned above, the role of Afghan nationals in at least two terror incidents and claims of responsibility by the Islamic State branch in Afghanistan (IS-K) exacerbated the situation. More importantly, it has led to sporadic clashes, as was reported in early December in Yazd after an Afghan man killed a young Iranian.

The Iranian government has so far maintained good ties with Afghans, and the current rulers of Afghanistan, the Taliban. This policy is partially aimed at keeping borders safe, not antagonizing Afghan communities, especially the Sunni Afghans, and at convincing the Taliban to provide Iran with its water allocations from a border river. At the same time, Iran is aware of opportunities and the risks Afghans pose to its society. On one side there are security matters: the real threat of IS-K members entering Iran as refugees, the danger of sectarian clashes between Shia Iranians and Sunni Afghans and confrontations rising from economic or social turbulence. On the other side, the sanctioned Iranian administration considers Afghans as potential investors. Afghan businessmen are believed to make up the bulk of foreign investors in Iran. They financed 15 percent of the 4-billion-dollar foreign projects this year. Tehran sees Afghanistan as a thriving market for made-in-Iran products and is willing to boost cross-border trade. Officials also emphasize Iranian hospitality, Muslim fraternity, Shiism (in particular for Shia, Hazara Afghans), and cultural bonds as motives to host Afghan people and hope these common grounds would encourage wealthy Afghans to further invest in Iran.

In 2023, Iran started a new registration scheme, alongside a campaign of deportation of refugees who enter the country illegally. The Islamic Republic understands it needs to change some regulations regarding the presence of foreigners, especially Afghans, in Iran. Therefore, it has joined hands with the UNHCR to provide refugee-card holders with healthcare coverage, and facilitate their access to state education and banking services. Iranian authorities are aware that a mass expulsion of Afghans – as did Pakistan – would ground parts of the economy such as public services, industrial, farming, and construction sectors to a halt as Afghans are the main workforce in those fields. By adopting a more lenient approach and seizing economic opportunities, the Islamic Republic plans to reduce security threats, avoid future communal tensions and encourage Iranians to see Afghan migrants as an economic advantage.

Masoud Pezeshkian:
Commenting on the issue of culture, Pezeshkian stressed that government should not manage culture.
This work belongs to seminaries, mosques, schools, and universities, he cited.
Intellectuals should not leave our country. We should prepare the ground so that they do not have to leave, Pezeshkian urged.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:
"Culture, in fact, means that people produce and consume themselves. Governments should navigate, produce, and guide," he underlined.
He went on to say that undoubtedly, the family is the most important entity that governments must focus on.
Having a strong Iran depends on having strong families, Ghalibaf noted.

Mostafa Pourmohammadi:
In his remarks, Pourmohammadi stressed the need to establish a strong messaging platform.
Women have made significant progress in the Islamic Republic of Iran, but they still have not reached their true position, he emphasized.
He said that Iran is a capable country with high scientific potential, and the Iranians are also capable of progressing in content production.

Alireza Zakani:
Referring to the issue of women's role in society, he said that women's issues cannot be addressed with mere slogans. "Women inside and outside their homes need security."
Freedom is the right of the people, and the Islamic Revolution has granted this right, he noted.
He further stressed that Islam provides women and girls with a position where they have opportunities, not issues.

Ghazizadeh Hashemi:
Commenting on the issue of women's affairs, he said that the government is obliged to employ women with children and provide facilities such as affordable childcare centers.
He said that the status and role of women in Iranian and Islamic culture is obvious.
"In our country, women have never been viewed as objects."

Saeed Jalili:
Jalili stressed that measures should be taken to not allow the glorious role of Iranian women in various fields to be censored.
Referring to the conspiracy of Iran's enemies, Jalili said that the enemies have focused on women because women are a strength of the Islamic Revolution.
He also criticized the Western states' double standards regarding the rights of women and their silence in the face of the death of hundreds of thousands of women in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli war machine.
