In photos: Tehran gridlocked overnight as residents Rush to Leave

Jun 17, 2025, 07:35 GMT+1

Long queues of vehicles were seen on roads leading out of Tehran on Monday night, as residents fled the Iranian capital amid intensifying conflict with Israel.

Footage circulating on social media showed heavy traffic on the Karaj-Chalus road, a key westbound route out of the city.

The exodus follows a warning from former US President Donald Trump, who urged Tehran residents to evacuate, signaling potential large-scale attacks.
