Storyline: Travel and life at the Iranian-Turkish border and Iranian city of Tabriz continued more or less as usual despite heightened tensions with Israel. The flow of passengers remained steady at the Khoy-Kapikoy crossing between Türkiye and Iran on Saturday, with some Iranians forced to take lengthy overland routes due to canceled flights following Israel's airstrikes on Iran and the subsequent closure of Iranian airspace. Although land border crossings have become critical transit points for travelers, the border checkpoint, located about 60 kilometers from Van, Türkiye, appeared calm with only mild increase of travelers despite heightened regional tensions. Dozens of buses lined up on the Turkish side, waiting to transport arriving Iranian passengers further into Türkiye. Despite Israel's intensifying airstrikes in Iran's northwestern West Azerbaijan province on Saturday, the border area remained operational and calm, with many Iranians still returning home. Approximately 300 kilometers from the border lies Tabriz, the largest city in northern Iran. Even as Israeli strikes continued overnight on Saturday, with Iranian air defense forces engaging targets in the skies above, daily life in Tabriz carried on. The city's central streets remained bustling after dark, with traffic and commerce uninterrupted. Shotlist: Kapikoy Border Crossing, Türkiye - June 14, 2025: 1.
