As dawn broke over the Iranian capital of Tehran this morning, a powerful sense of urgency gripped the city. Major highways and arterial roads leading out of the capital were choked with traffic as thousands of residents fled in a massive exodus, seeking safety amid intensifying regional tensions.
Footage and eyewitness accounts show miles-long lines of vehicles, stretching beyond the city’s outskirts, as families pack essentials and try to escape what many fear could become a warzone.
The mass departure follows a series of high-stakes military escalations in recent days that have left many Tehranis deeply anxious about what lies ahead. City officials have yet to issue any formal evacuation orders, but the scenes unfolding on the roads speak volumes.
