Some families remain due to medical needs or lack of transport, while others choose to stay despite the looming threat. Approximately 10 million people still call Tehran home as pockets of normal life persist.

All Iranian border crossings remain open despite hostilities: Iran
An Iranian official has confirmed that all land border crossings remain open to passengers and freight amid escalating tensions with Israel.
Javad Hedayati, director general of Iran’s Transit Bureau, told Tasnim News Agency that crossings are “being operated normally,” even as aviation activities are halted.
In recent days, foreign nationals—including Pakistanis, Chinese and South Koreans—have begun evacuating Iran via land routes.
However, Hedayati noted that entry of people and goods into the country has slowed due to “security precautions” in response to ongoing Israeli attacks.
