Iran Internet Blackout Reveals Mass Exodus and Regime Brutality
The article details the experiences of Iranians fleeing their country amidst escalating airstrikes and the confirmed death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Many individuals interviewed at the Kapikoy border crossing and in the Turkish city of Van expressed fear, a desire for peace, and a profound sense of the country’s decline. The ongoing internet blackouts and state-controlled media make it challenging to ascertain the full extent of the situation on the ground, though reports indicate significant casualties and damage. Despite the uncertainty, there is a palpable hope among those leaving that these events may signal the beginning of the end for the current regime and pave the way for freedom.
