Iranian asylum seeker deported to Central African Republic sparks concern

An Iranian woman is reported to be among migrants deported from the United States to the Central African Republic. U.S. officials declined to comment on future removals, and ICE did not immediately respond. The CAR is described as war-torn and impoverished, with Russian Wagner mercenaries playing a security role; Iran’s influence in CAR is noted by advocates, as the story contextualizes Moscow’s ties and regional geopolitics, per AP reporting from Dakar.
