‘So terrifying’: Iranian student on fleeing back to safety in Canada amid conflict

  • Arash Ghaderi and his wife fled Iran amid the Israel-Iran conflict, traveling by land and then flying into Edmonton, arriving safely on June 23.
  • They chose land travel because all flights were cancelled after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear sites on June 13, triggering war and Iran’s retaliation.
  • Ghaderi described a terrifying journey with seven hours by van, multiple buses across Turkey, and anxiety due to bombings and an internet shutdown in Iran.
  • He said, "It was so terrifying," and he couldn’t feel his legs anymore, though he felt relief that he and his wife were safe while family remained in Iran.
  • The conflict caused at least 606 Iranian deaths and 5,332 wounded, disrupted financial support for Iranian students in Canada, and led Ottawa to urge Canadians in Iran to leave safely.
