Iranians are crossing the Kapıköy border into Turkey, citing nightly bombings, internet blackouts, and economic hardship due to the conflict, while others return to be near family. The UNHCR reports tens of thousands have moved, but volumes are below pre-conflict levels. Many express hope for regime change but fear the war's impact on civilians and infrastructure.
