"In the coming days, about 55 nationals will return to Iran,"
"This is the second group being returned to Iran in the last few months."
"political grounds and anti-migrant policies that are against international law."
About 55 Iranian nationals deported from the United States are scheduled to arrive in Iran via Kuwait. This marks the second repatriation in recent months after a prior flight of 120 people that arrived via Qatar in October. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said the deportations were based on "political grounds and anti-migrant policies that are against international law." The United States and Iran lack direct diplomatic relations, and the transfer required unusual coordination through intermediaries. Washington and allies have imposed sanctions accusing Iran of nuclear ambitions and support for extremist violence, while Iran denies the allegations. Human rights advocates warn against returning people to countries with poor rights records.
