TEHRAN (Afghan Verified) — Fars News Agency reported that a missile strike by the United States and Israel hit a residential area in Shahr-e Rey, south of Tehran, killing 10 people. Among the dead were six members of one Afghan migrant family and four Iranian citizens.
Several others were wounded in the attack, according to Iranian media.
The incident underscores the vulnerabilities of Afghan migrants in Iran, as noted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The agency highlighted that Iran hosts 3-4 million Afghan migrants and refugees, who face risks amid regional conflicts, internet blackouts, economic pressures and a surge in returns to Afghanistan.
UNHCR data shows 86,253 Afghans have returned from Iran since early 2026.
Shahr-e Rey, a district south of Iran's capital, was targeted in what Fars described as a US-Israeli operation. No immediate claim of responsibility was mentioned in the reports.
