Sobering footage has captured a massive traffic jam as thousands frantically tried to flee Tehran — with President Trump ominously warning that Israel wouldn’t be slowing its attacks on Iran any time soon.
The president urged “everyone to evacuate” the Iranian city late Monday as Israel appeared to be expanding its air assault five days after launching its surprise attack on Iran’s military and nuclear program.
He predicted, too, that Israel was showing no signs of relenting.
“You’re going to find out over the next two days,” Trump said when asked if Israel would slow down its onslaught.
“You’re going to find out. Nobody’s slowed up so far.”

He’s referring to “FAFO”, I assume. “...going to find out”.
Psyop - Trump speaks and people half way around the world jump...they know he’s just crazy enough to back up his words with terrible actions...Way to go Mr. President.
“The 405 was my first thought”
Me, too. The 405-101 connection. UGH!
“Where are these people gonna go?”
I wondered that, too. West toward Turkey and Greece, or another direction?
Turkey would be my destination..................
Sounds like a low yield nuke is going to take out Tehran—turn it into a replica of 1945 Berlin. Is it worth it? Maybe its just Bunker Busters or EMP attack to turn out the lights. Who will rush to Iran’s defense? Few if any. But, will this end the threat to Israel?
This would be the perfect time for a coalition of all the Arab nations to go into Iran and declare freedom from the crazy mullahs for the Iranian people.
Hopefully during Trumps’ visit to those nation a few weeks ago
this idea was brought up.
I know where they’re NOT going 😏
Only in one direction. No opposing traffic on the other side of the freeway. The mullahs could open up the other side, but then too many people would be able to escape.
I wonder if Uber is doing peak pricing for a trip out of Tehran.
Nah, looks like Houston when a hurricane is approaching. Notice no cars going back into town.
It’s called power-the ability to get people to do what they don’t want to. Think of it as an offer they can’t refuse.
That’s my guess, too.
“Tehran is beautiful this time of year”…Glenn Beck
I wonder why they don’t do contraflow like with a hurricane.
Could Iran have assembled a couple of nukes and Israel is frantically looking for them?
A nuclear detonation ANYWHERE in the middle east could be more catastrophic than just the initial blast.
Ha, I caught that too.
It would not be so dark though. That is the big difference.
The Iranian people were out on the roof tops on night two chanting death to Khomieni. Only 30% of the Iranian people are muslim.
