Regional tensions escalated sharply on 28 February 2026 following coordinated strikes inside the Islamic Republic of Iran and across several Gulf and neighbouring states. The situation remains fluid, with disruptions to airspace, civilian mobility, and humanitarian access across multiple countries. The conflict in the Islamic Republic of Iran and across the Middle East is intensifying, forcing families to flee and placing additional pressure on already fragile communities. Meanwhile, new waves of movements are emerging and increasing urgent humanitarian needs.
IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is on the ground, actively tracking displacement and cross-border mobility while scaling operations in coordination with local authorities and partners to better understand how the crisis is impacting human mobility in the region.
