As Iran War Drags On, Europe Wants to Avoid a New Migration Crisis

European leaders are concerned that a potential war involving Iran could trigger a new migration crisis similar to the one a decade ago. This concern stems from the possibility that conflict could displace large populations, leading them to seek refuge in Europe. Remembering the political impact of the previous surge in migration, which fueled the rise of far-right movements, European leaders are taking preliminary steps to prepare for a possible influx of refugees. The aim is to mitigate the potential humanitarian and political consequences within Europe should a large-scale migration event occur due to the conflict. These preparations are in response to fears that war in Iran could destabilize the region and force mass migration toward Europe.
