Around 3.6 million Afghans are living in Iran who are mostly labor migrants. In 2020, more than 850 thousand Afghan undocumented immigrants have returned to Af-ghanistan from Iran through two main borders of Herat and Nimroz. The main reasons for returning Afghan immigrants to Afghanistan are, severe economic situation in Iran due to the western sanctions and Corona-virus COVID-19 which have increased Iran’s inflation rate, unemployment rate and devalued the Iranian currency.
