<p>This study explores how negative emotions are deliberately triggered and employed as instruments of manipulation within online anti-migrant discourse. Based on the analysis of 3,194,663 Telegram messages collected from multiple countries, it examines which emotional manipulation emerges in the discursive and structural patterns. Combining manual annotation for maliciousness, emotional manipulation, and vulnerability with a multi-label transformer-based emotion classification, the research identifies how particular emotional configurations are mobilized. Rather than measuring the social impact of these messages or the intentions of their authors, the study focuses on uncovering the presence, structure, and possible functions of these emotional strategies. By situating these findings within Telegram’s affordances-low moderation, anonymity, and ideological insulation-it reveals how the platform nurtures emotionally polarized echo chambers. The study thus offers a conceptual foundation for future research seeking to connect emotional mechanisms with broader social and political effects.</p>

<p>The study examines how long-standing structural human insecurity in Iran is likely to evolve into a large-scale migration crisis following the sanctions and recent U.S. military intervention in 2026. Rather than interpreting migration solely as an immediate reaction to war, the study conceptualizes it as a rational risk-management process in which accumulated structural deficits—democratic, demographic, and developmental (3D)—interact with individual migration capacities (4C: financial, social, human, and physical capitals). The military intervention did not create migration from scratch; rather, it acted as a catalyst that intensified pre-existing insecurity and pushed it toward a life-threatening threshold, thereby activating latent displacement dynamics. At the regional level, established Iranian diaspora networks in neighbouring countries, particularly Türkiye, generate a “magnet effect” that lowers migration costs and facilitates cross-border mobility. In contrast, individuals with limited physical capacity often experience “forced immobility,” becoming trapped within the country despite high migration motivations. At the global level, highly skilled individuals tend to transform the crisis into an opportunity for status restoration by pursuing migration to Western destinations. Overall, we argue that Iran-driven displacement is not a purely spontaneous humanitarian response but a structured process shaped by the interaction of structural vulnerabilities and individual capacities. As such, it constitutes a broader stress test for regional governance systems and the global migration regime.</p>
