Iranian Exodus: Over 300 People Fled Iran via Azerbaijan, Source Close to Government Says A significant number of Iranians have fled the country through neighboring Azerbaijan in recent weeks, according to a source close to the Iranian government. The exact figure is not publicly known, but the source estimates that over 300 people have left Iran in this manner. The mass exodus comes as tensions continue to simmer between Iran and its regional rivals, particularly after the latter's military intervention in neighboring Yemen. The source believes that many of those fleeing are seeking better economic opportunities abroad or escaping political persecution. Azerbaijan has been at the forefront of efforts to facilitate the evacuation process, with reports suggesting that around 500 Russian nationals have already been evacuated from Iran via the country. The Russian Embassy in Tehran confirmed this development earlier this week, stating that it had successfully transported its citizens out of the region. While officials on both sides are being tight-lipped about the specifics of the situation, insiders suggest that Azerbaijan's role in facilitating the evacuations has been instrumental in smoothing the process. The two countries share a long border and have historically enjoyed strong diplomatic ties. As Iran grapples with mounting economic woes and political uncertainty, many fear that the recent exodus may be just the tip of the iceberg. With tensions showing little signs of abating on either side of the border, it remains to be seen how this situation will continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months.#Iran #Tehran #Yemen #Azerbaijan #Russian_Embassy
