Long lines of vehicles clogged the roads leading out of Tehran on Monday night, as thousands of residents fled the capital in a growing atmosphere of fear and uncertainty amid the escalating conflict with Israel.

Videos circulating widely on social media showed heavy traffic on the Karaj-Chalus highway, a major westbound route out of the city, as drivers sat bumper-to-bumper in an overnight exodus. The mass departure came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning urging Tehran residents to evacuate, fueling speculation that a large-scale Israeli attack could be imminent.
