Iran Conflict May Send Millions toward Europe and Raise Security Concerns, Experts Warn

MCC’s Migration Research Institute has published an analysis warning that the war involving Iran could lead to a prolonged migration crisis and heightened security risks for Europe. Even if the armed conflict subsides, deteriorating economic and security conditions may prompt millions of Iranians and Afghans currently living in Iran to leave the country. At the same time, radical groups could become more active in Europe, potentially targeting countries that have previously opened their borders to illegal migration.
