Iran Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Araqchi today
told reporters in Tehran that the Islamic Republic is seriously following up on
the expulsion of Iranian nationals from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
A number of foreign nationals, including 500 Iranian citizens, have been
expelled from the UAE after new Emirati immigration policies went into effect.
ISNA reported on Saturday that tens of Iranian families have also been expelled in
recent months, some living in the country for more than 25 years.
“The issue is being
seriously pursued by the Foreign Ministry as well as the Iranian Embassy in Abu
Dhabi,” said Araqchi. (IRNA/Press TV, 7 July)
According to Araqchi, the situation of Iranian nationals living in the
Arab state will be discussed during the Iran-UAE Joint Consular Committee
meeting, which is scheduled to be held after the Muslim fasting month of
Ramadan.
On Saturday, Vahid Ahmadi, a senior Iranian MP, criticized Adu Dhabi
over the move and said the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy
Committee would be carrying out an investigation into the case.

--- "In May, Iran threatened to expel Afghan refugees and migrant workers, in all about 2.4 million people, if Afghanistan signed a strategic security pact with the United States. The deal was struck.
ReplyDeleteAbout 1.4 million migrant workers remain in Iran but hundreds of them are being expelled every day.
Iran says migrant workers pose a security threat. But Afghan politicians and analysts say Iran is pushing them out to show it can ratchet up the pressure when it doesn't get its way." ----
