Teheran Exodus
Tehran in Panic: Roads jammed as residents flee overnight | WATCH
Terrified residents clog highways in desperate bid to escape looming strikes.
Long lines of vehicles clogged the roads leading out of Tehran on Monday night, as thousands of residents fled the capital in a growing atmosphere of fear and uncertainty amid the escalating conflict with Israel.
Videos circulating widely on social media showed heavy traffic on the Karaj-Chalus highway, a major westbound route out of the city, as drivers sat bumper-to-bumper in an overnight exodus. The mass departure came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning urging Tehran residents to evacuate, fueling speculation that a large-scale Israeli attack could be imminent.
