Dozens of Iranians Cross Border into Turkey

Dozens of Iranian citizens have crossed the border into Turkey as the violent suppression of protests continues in Iran. The protesters, families, and individuals are arriving in the Van province of Turkey and being transported to nearby cities. The United States has called on its citizens to depart Iran immediately via land routes to Turkey or Armenia. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has encouraged Iranians to continue protesting, assuring them that “help is on the way.” The increase in Iranians crossing the border into Turkey is being closely monitored, as many countries have advised their citizens to leave Iran.
