With the intensification of air strikes, the Iranians flow to the border

It is located between the arid mountains that extend to the border of approximately 600 km between Iran and Turkey, and families withdraw bags and pay children’s carts through a gateway to the taxes and trucks.

Some fled Iran to escape intense air strikes, while others are trying to enter the country to reunite families, days after the power outage made it impossible to contact them.

With the closure of the Iranian airspace, they were forced to resort to remote border crossings.

“We must go (to Iran) and be with our family … but perhaps we will leave again,” said Ali Sadra Souf, who was trying to cross into Iran at the Capikoy Razi crossing crossing.

She would spend a holiday in Türkiye when Israel fired air strikes against Iran on June 13. Sunday – just hours after US President Donald Trump Washington pushed directly to the war The attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites – He was on his way back with his mother.

Souf was comfortable to publish his full name and name, but most Iranians spoke with CBC News with a request not to be identified or only recognized by their first name because they fear possible repercussions to talk about the government.

Iran rules a strict theocratic system that took power after the revolution in 1979. Within the country, the opposition was met with severe repression and violence.

He has been killed or imprisoned for people even the lowest signs of protest. Independent media and the state are not to be tolerated by ultimate control of narrative information technology projects outside the Iranian border.

A country was divided into about 90 million politically, and those who spoke to CBC news expressed different opinions about who is ultimately blame the rising tensions and where the conflict may perform.

However, they are united by the fact that their lives have been disrupted – and even at risk – by the air strikes, which the Israeli government says is accurately directed at the military sites and targets related to the Iranian regime.

At the same border crossing, a 25 -year -old Iranian told CBC News that in the first few days of the Israel Air campaign, the situation was terrible in the capital, Tehran.

“It was very bad … I heard between 10 to 15 explosions around my house,” he said.

The man, who was on his way to Toronto after receiving a work visa, does not want to publish his name because he was afraid to face revenge when he finally returned to visit his family.

When asked what the Iranians thought about the possibility that the conflict would lead to a change in the system, he chose his words carefully.

“There are different groups in the country, and yes, some are now in the streets,” he said.

“But most people only want to live in peace … without any problems and without any battles.”

He had no plane ticket to Canada yet because he said that some Iranian banks were not working. The government of Iran said it had imposed a semi -external internet obstruction throughout the past week as a measure to protect against electronic attacks.

“I just try to survive this moment

During the past few days, CBC News has contacted several contacts in Iran. Most of them could not respond because they could not connect to the Internet. But when the service was partially restored on Saturday, people began to respond with audio notes from cities throughout the country.

A man who just wanted to be identified as Hamid said: “Everyone just tries to survive this moment.”

“We do not have a lot of confidence in the situation that the government creates … there is a kind of solidarity among people.”

Earlier last week, Hamid said, joining a mass exit from Tehran. The driving along the surrounded roads described the traffic while the explosions were hesitated overnight.

The journey took to the city of the two rituals, which should have taken less than two hours, nine hours.

“There were a lot of incidents,” he said. “The roads were not safe. Long gasoline lists spanned the side of the road, making it worse.”

He said that he is especially angry at the Internet’s obstruction because it means that from outside Iran they did not get an accurate feeling of the influence of air strikes.

On Saturday, the Iranian Ministry of Health said that about 400 Iranians were killed and another 3,056 wounded in Israeli strikes.

But on Sunday, a group of human rights, a group of human rights, stated that its numbers showed that the death toll was higher, killing more than 800.

Among the dead, the group said it had identified 363 civilians and 215 security forces employees.

Increased anger on us, Israel

A few hours before the United States hit Iranian nuclear sites with a bomber and cruise missiles, an important foretold is that if Washington chooses to participate, Iranian society will unite anger.

“Hate towards Israel and the United States is raising sharply here,” he said.

“This imagination is that foreign power … can lead us in one way or another to freedom – we do not see it as a possibility.”

Others still believe that Israeli strikes against Iranian military and security infrastructure are destabilizing the regime, even if there are no external signs that the government is about to overthrow.

“We hope this war will put the dictatorship of the Islamic Republic,” said a 70 -year -old woman, who only wanted to recognize the name of Huma.

((Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali) was a war in war with the entire world for decades, and the Iranian people kept sadness, sadness and misery. “

Khameneni has maintained his grip on power since 1989 by controlling almost all aspects of society, including the armed forces and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps.

In a voice message, Huma said that before leaving Tehran, there were checkpoints throughout the city and the cars were constantly searching.

Allam Saleh, a great lecturer at the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Australian National University, visited Tehran after his invitation to speak at a conference.

He is still in the capital, but it is estimated that in a city with a population of about 10 million, he left about a third.

Saleh said that GPS navigation systems do not work because Iran uses jamming systems to try to disrupt Israeli air attacks.

During one of the audio messages he sent to CBC News, the sounds of explosions can be heard in the background.

While he admitted that he was concerned about his safety, he said he was not ready to go north to a safer area than the country so far.

“I watched the 1979 revolution. I watched Iran’s Iraqi war,” he said.

“I think this may be another historical moment for Iran in its contemporary history.”
