The intensity of the mutual attacks between Iran and Israel has escalated significantly as of today. The increase in airstrikes, in particular, has caused thousands of people from many cities across the country, primarily Tehran, to flee.
CONGESTION AT THE TURKISH BORDER
With the attacks, migration traffic toward Turkey has also increased visibly. Thousands of Iranians who gathered at Iran's Bazargan Border Gate have begun waiting to cross through the Gürbulak Border Gate on the Turkish side.
According to eyewitnesses, the crowd in the region is growing by the hour.
OFFICIAL STATEMENTS REMAIN LIMITED
The Center for Combating Disinformation (DMM), affiliated with the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye's Directorate of Communications, had announced in a statement earlier today that there was no extraordinary congestion at the Turkey-Iran border so far.
