‘This is the last time I’ll see you’: One Canadian doctor’s story of escaping war in Iran

  • Homa, a 40-year-old Iranian business analyst working in Canada, left Tehran by bus on June 17, 2025, and arrived at Turkey's Kapikoy border on June 18, 2025.
  • Her departure followed Israel's pre-dawn bombing on Friday targeting Iran's military and nuclear sites, which led Iran to close its airspace and respond militarily.
  • Despite conflict, Turkish officials report a steady, not massive, flow of Iranians crossing the border, with many travelers stating people are not fleeing Tehran.
  • Bus drivers said the number of buses from 8:00 pm to 8:00 am increased from 3-4 to 30, mostly heading to Istanbul about 1,500 kilometers away.
  • The Israel-Iran conflict caused casualties on both sides, disrupted civilian life, and forced displaced people like Homa to undertake long journeys to safety abroad.
