Published



The United Nations estimated that over 3 million Iranians have been displaced due to the war with Israel and the United States, a number set to rise as the bombing campaign continues.

The office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees cited preliminary estimates holding that between 600,000 and 1 million Iranian households are temporarily displaced within the country, which translates to a ceiling of 3.2 million people. Most refugees are from Tehran and other major urban centers who have fled to safety in rural areas.
