Iran is recruiting Afghan refugees to fight in Syria, the Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday. In exchange, Iran is offering them stipends of $500 a month and residency permits, the paper said, quoting Afghans and Western officials.
Details of the recruitment drive by IRGC were posted this week on a blog catering to Afghan refugees in Iran, the Journal said.

Looks like the US army is not the only entity playing the "Green Card" game for recruiting cadets. I guess Iran's Afghans are pretty much like America's "Ramirez" soldiers.
Just shows Iranians are not prepared to sacrifice their lives for a bunch of bearded fanatics. Saying that, $500 a month is a awful lot of money for an Afghan.
They have to pay their dues or get out.
Of course they're not.they're all people like the commenters here, all talk. That's why they sent young boys to die on the iraq war.
in every iran building and construction -site you get more Money than 500 $
You must live in a parallel universe thinking poor Afghan construction workers are making $500 a month in Iran.
The Afghan refugees in Iran have paid their dues long time ago. Their labor was a critical factor to keep the Iranian economy working during the 8-year Iran-Iraq war, when many young men had gone to the front. Many Afghan youths also fought on that war, and some lost their lives to defend the Iranian territorial integrity. The type of cheap prejudice shown by some Iranians toward Afghan refugees is uncalled for and would only manifest their own flawed character.
Uskowi,have you just discovered that IRI supporters are living in a parallel universe?
