As the Iran war intensifies, the Kapıköy border crossing between Iran and Turkey has emerged as a critical transit point for civilians caught in the conflict. Many Iranians are fleeing nightly bombardments, infrastructure damage, and economic disruption, while others are returning to reunite with family despite the risks. Witnesses describe fear, grief, and frustration, alongside hopes for political change. Despite the crisis, crossings remain below pre-war levels, with most people opting for temporary relocation rather than permanent migration. Turkish authorities remain on alert for a potential refugee surge, though large-scale displacement has not yet occurred. (PC: The Guardian)
