Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani while referring to the presence of more than six million Afghan immigrants in Iran, announced that Iran spends more than 10 billion dollars annually to meet their needs, while there hss not been sufficient support from the international community


According to The Iran Project, As a neighbor, Iran has borne a disproportionate share of the burden of the Afghan crisis, especially after the reckless withdrawal of the United States in 2020. More than six million Afghans have taken refuge in Iran, which has put a lot of pressure on our limited resources. Iran spends more than 10 billion dollars annually to meet their needs, but this time it has not received enough support from the international community," Iravani said before the UN Security Council Briefing on 'Situation in Afghanistan'.
