Court documents reviewed by the AP show the U.S. government has been in talks with Iran about deporting the Iranians amid the Iran war, with some documents from mid-October saying the Iranians would be deported to a third country. The documents show continued cooperation between US and Iranian officials regarding the sending of Iranians to Iran, particularly in relation to travel documents and "paths of removal". This came amid concerns by US officials that expelled Iranians would face danger if sent back to Iran.
