Iran plays populist card with campaign to expel Afghan migrants
Iran is banking on the idea that expelling Afghan migrants will boost its national economy. On Tuesday, Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani reaffirmed the clerical regime's goal: "to reduce the pressure on state subsidies, particularly in the areas of energy and bread." According to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), over 1.4 million Afghan nationals have been forced out of Iran since last January, as part of a massive deportation campaign launched by Iranian authorities. In May, Tehran announced July 6 as the deadline for all unregistered foreign nationals to leave the country.

Iran to Send Urgent Humanitarian Aid to Gaza
Israa Farhan The Iranian government has announced plans to deliver emergency humanitarian aid to Gaza through the Iranian Red Crescent, amid the worsening humanitarian crisis in the region. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani confirmed on Tuesday that preparations are underway to dispatch the aid, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency. The move comes as conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate under the ongoing Israeli military operations. Mohajerani strongly condemned what she described as the brutal crimes committed by Israel in Gaza, criticising the international community's silence in the face of what she called the killing of innocent civilians. Since the beginning of the war on 7 October 2023 and up to 22 July 2025, more than 59,000 Palestinians have been killed and around 143,000 injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Just on Tuesday alone, Israeli airstrikes reportedly claimed the lives of 85 Palestinians, including at least 31 people waiting for humanitarian aid, with many others injured, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA. Iran's aid initiative is expected to be one of several regional responses as humanitarian concerns in Gaza continue to draw urgent international attention. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

The heatwave has been accompanied by drought, with the capital experiencing its lowest rainfall in 60 year, according to the Tehran Provincial Water Supply Company. Water levels in the reservoirs which supply Tehran have fallen to 'their lowest level in a century,' the company said, advising people to use a tank and pump to cope with mains disruption. Tehran provincial governor, Mohammad Sadegh Motamedian said the dams are only filled to 14%, adding that the capital is going through its fifth year of drought. 'Crisis' Many residents reported water supply cuts lasting several hours in the past few days.

President Masoud Pezeshkian warned on Sunday that 'the water crisis is more serious than people are saying.' Many Iranian newspapers carried photographs of the low reservoir levels on their front pages on Tuesday. In Iran's hottest provincial capital, Ahvaz in Khuzestan in the southwest, residents complained that scheduled power cuts had continued despite temperatures nearing 50C on Monday. In Tehran, drivers were forced to stop to prevent their radiators overheating in temperatures exceeding 40C. According to the Fars news agency, the Tehran Provincial Water Supply Company plans to distribute drinking water in plastic bags if the mains supply cuts continue. While heatwaves are not uncommon in Iran, last July the government ordered banks and public institutions to close amid soaring temperatures. At the time, officials said electricity consumption had reached a record high of over 79,000 megawatts. Sunshine Girls Television Columnists Canada Sunshine Girls
