Thousands flee Tehran as conflict with Israel continues to escalate
The Iranian capital Tehran, home to around 10 million people and one of the biggest cities in the Middle East, has seen a mass exodus as the conflict with Israel intensifies. Early on Tuesday, the city's bustling downtown began to empty, with many shops closed and the historic Grand Bazaar shuttered, something that had not occurred since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. A partial evacuation order from the Israeli military was issued to 330,000 people living in the centre of Tehran early on Monday. However, many had already begun to flee following attacks at the weekend. Traffic jams stretched for kilometres on roads leading out of the city, with many heading toward the Caspian Sea region. Long lines also formed at gas stations as residents scrambled to get fuel, with limits on 25 litres of fuel per car now in place. Later on Monday, US President Donald Trump posted a message on his social media site Truth Social calling for the immediate evacuation of the Iranian capital. "Everybody should immediately evacuate Tehran," Trump posted, later explaining that he issued the statement because "I just want people to be safe." Despite this growing exodus, Iranian officials maintained that the situation was under control, offering no clear guidance for the public. Meanwhile, flights bringing evacuees from Israel have landed in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, making them among the first countries to repatriate citizens amid the escalating conflict. Slovak authorities confirmed the arrival of the first evacuation flight late Monday, carrying 73 passengers, including 25 Slovak tourists and five family members of Slovak diplomats based in Tel Aviv. Poland also announced plans to evacuate its citizens from Israel, with operations scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. India has also evacuated an undisclosed number of students from Tehran. The Indian Foreign Ministry said that some nationals have been assisted in leaving Iran through the border with Armenia. Those who can arrange their own transportation have been urged to go as soon as possible. Around 50,000 Israelis are believed to be stranded overseas, with some reports putting that number closer to 100,000. This follows the closure of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on Friday as Israel launched airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program, a situation that has left the airport closed "until further notice". Israeli authorities have urged citizens stranded abroad not to rush to Larnaca or Athens in hopes of returning home sooner, as Israel's airspace remains indefinitely closed to both arrivals and departures. The country's National Security Council also issued a warning against attempting to reach Israel by land through Jordan or Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, with both countries now under Level 4 travel warnings, advising immediate departure for those already there. Meanwhile, two explosions were heard across Tehran early on Tuesday afternoon, with black smoke rising from the northern part of the city near Iranian state television's headquarters and key government offices. Iranian authorities have yet to acknowledge the attack.

Swiss insurers estimate glacier damage at $393 mn
The Swiss Insurance Association (SIA) said it was "already certain that 2025 will go down in history" of the region with the year to date marked by "above-average claims" related to natural damage. The SIA had said two weeks ago that the collapse, a "major disaster that is virtually unprecedented in its scale and impact on the affected population", would cost hundreds of millions in claims. The collapse three weeks ago of the Birch Glacier, located in the Loetschental Valley, renowned for wild and unique landscapes, made headlines across the world. Some nine million cubic metres (318 million cubic feet) of rock and ice that tumbled into Blatten buried most of its homes. Its 300 residents had been evacuated as a precaution although the disaster left one person missing. The enormous mass of rubble formed a massive natural dam on the River Lonza, a river that flows along the valley floor and the water swiftly formed an artificial lake that submerged much of the village. Local people "suffered total damage caused either directly by the landslide or by the ensuing floods", the SIA said in a report. To "repair the damage caused to buildings and personal property," nearly 260 million Swiss francs will be paid out to the local population, according to the association. The remaining 60 million francs will "compensate for interrupted business and reimburse motor vehicle expenses". The SIA added that "Switzerland is among the best-insured countries in the world", with more than 90 percent of the country enjoying natural disasters-related insurance coverage.
