The conflict in Iran could significantly increase refugee flows to the EU, according to the EU's asylum agency, which warns of potential destabilization leading to mass migration.
The war in Iran is expected to alter migration patterns significantly, as the EU's asylum agency (EUAA) warns that even partial destabilization in a country with a population of around 90 million could lead to unprecedented refugee flows into Europe. Last year, asylum applications in EU countries declined by nearly 20%, but this situation may soon revert if instability persists in Iran. Diplomatic sources reveal that EU foreign ministers recently convened to address these emerging concerns, reflecting a heightened urgency regarding potential new refugee crises.
