Previously, six Afghan workers lost their lives in a fire at a construction company in eastern Tehran.

Many Afghan citizens have migrated to Iran due to poverty and unemployment, and those without legal residence documents or identity cards live in difficult conditions.

In another recent incident, a large explosion occurred at a chemical plant in southern Tehran, causing extensive damage and resulting in the evacuation of nearby residents.

Additionally, heavy floods have recently hit northern Iran, leading to the displacement of thousands of people and significant damage to infrastructure.
