Iranians deported from Iraq in 1971 in pictures

Iraq has expelled some 60,000 Iranian men, women and children in the past few days, Iranian officials announced today. It is unclear whether the figures from the Iranian Red Lion and Sun (Red Cross) Society also include previous deportations over the past weeks and months. An Iranian Government spokesman today accused Iraq of moving thousands of people to within seven miles of the border in convoys of an estimated 1,000 buses in the last few days. ​​​​​​
