Weary Iranians continue to cross into Turkey’s Kapikoy border town, some fleeing bombardments, others seeking safety. Over 3 million Iranians have been displaced since the war began.
As airstrikes intensify, many undertake long, arduous journeys by foot, car, and train. For some, the decision to leave comes only after weeks of fear and uncertainty.
"There is no surrender for us," said one Iranian. "We will not surrender even if the whole world stands behind the US and Israel."
Despite the challenges, the crossing remains orderly. Some return to Iran due to family, work, or unfinished obligations, highlighting the complex human stories amidst the conflict.
