This Border Crossing Is One of Iran's Last Lifelines to the Outside World -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-22 11:42

KAPIKOY, Turkey-Some are fleeing the bombing, others leaving to wait out the war with relatives abroad. Iranians are stumbling to safety in Turkey at this border crossing in a snowy mountain pass that in recent weeks has become one of their few lifelines to the outside world.

They have suitcases and pets, and food in plastic shopping bags. A mother from Tehran said the sound of the explosions got so loud one night she decided to whisk her 8-year-old daughter to safety the next day, taking the daylong bus ride to the Turkish border. A family of seven from Tabriz carried blankets in clear plastic cases, prepared for a long stay with their in-laws in eastern Turkey. A 70-year-old woman from Tehran waited for her ride to a nearby airport, where she planned to begin her journey to the south of France to wait out the bombing.

Others are already planning their return.
