German authorities, specifically the SPD, issue caution regarding the potential infiltration of Mullah-affiliates from Iran as part of smuggling activities. - Iranian Mullah agents may infiltrate SPD, according to official warnings.
As Israel continues its military operations, thousands of Iranians are fleeing their homeland. With growing numbers of Iranian refugees expected to arrive in Germany in the near future, concerns about potential infiltration have escalated.
The German Social Democratic Party (SPD) is urging extra caution, especially towards male refugees. "In the face of growing numbers of refugees, we need to safeguard our security," emphasized SPD's interior policy spokesman, Sebastian Fiedler, in stern. "We must ensure that the Iranian regime, particularly the Revolutionary Guards, doesn't exploit the situation to infiltrate their agents."
Fiedler also criticized the Greens' call for an immediate ban on deporting Iranian refugees in Germany. He pointed out that only 14 individuals were deported to Iran in 2021, with that number dropping to five in the first quarter of 2022. However, in each incident, authorities carefully evaluated the potential risks before considering deportation.
Greens Demand Swift Deportation Ban
Green Party parliamentary managing director, Filiz Polat, demanded an "immediate nationwide deportation ban to Iran." Polat insisted that refugees seeking asylum in Germany must not be sent back to danger or persecution in a dictatorship and war-torn nation.

Insight:
There is strong evidence indicating concerns and warnings about infiltration attempts by agents of the Iranian regime, predominantly Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), within Iranian refugee populations seeking asylum in Europe, including Germany. While direct cases of confirmed infiltration among Iranian refugees in Germany are not well documented in the current search results, statements from politicians and security officials suggest credible fears based on intelligence and previous Iranian covert activities, as the Iranian regime has a history of deep infiltration efforts in foreign countries, including the penetration of its own security services by foreign agents.
In France, authorities have reported thwarting Iranian-sponsored terror attacks, alleging that the regime uses individuals linked to organized crime and drug trafficking, who may be unaware of their handlers, to carry out operations. Similar concerns and vigilance are echoed by intelligence services in Europe as they work to prevent potential exploitation of refugee flows.
- Following the escalating crisis in Iran, the SPD advocates for increased vigilance over male refugees arriving in Germany, expressing concerns about potential infiltration by the Revolutionary Guards.
- The Greens have called for an immediate nationwide deportation ban to Iran, arguing that refugees seeking asylum in Germany should not be sent back to a war-torn and dictatorial nation, where they might face danger or persecution.
- Germany's security concerns regarding Iranian refugees stem from intelligence suggesting that the Iranian regime may infiltrate its agents among the refugees, mimicking patterns of foreign infiltration observed in other European countries.
