From Tehran To Toronto Via Turkey: An Iranian's Bid To Flee War
Dragging two suitcases and wearing a rucksack, Homa looked exhausted after crossing the Turkish border following a long trip from Tehran where she'd been on holiday when the Israel-Iran war began. The 40-year-old Iranian who works in Canada as a business analyst was stranded when Iran closed its airspace after Israel launched a massive pre-dawn bombing campaign on Friday and the Islamic republic struck back, in their most intense confrontation in history. Homa, who didn't give her surname, quickly looked for an alternative way out, eventually finding a bus to Iran's northwestern border with Turkey, a journey of 850 kilometres (530 miles). After enduring four days of conflict, she left Tehran at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, reaching the Kapikoy border crossing into the eastern Turkish province of Van on Wednesday afternoon. Many people were leaving Tehran, like her own family who drove to Shahriar, a town some 30 kilometres to the west on a journey that took "hours, because of the heavy traffic," she said. "They're not safe, I am worried about them". So far, Iran says at least 224 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks targeting Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure, while Israel says at least 24 have died in Tehran's retaliation. Despite her long journey, Homa still has some way to go before getting back to her family in Toronto. "Right now, I'm going to Erzurum, then to Istanbul, then to Dubai and then to Toronto," she said before starting the next five-hour leg from the border to Erzurum on her long road home. "I couldn't sleep for five nights in a row" because of the sound of incoming missiles, told AFP, saying the bombardment in the east of the city had forced to her to relocate to the north. And communication was difficult. "The internet is awful. I couldn't even get the VPN working. Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram are all being filtered and WiFi is on-and-off," she said. Kapikoy, which lies 100 kilometres east of the lakeside Turkish city of Van, is the main point for crossings between Turkey and Iran. So far there doesn't appear to be a huge influx of Iranians crossing the border since the bombing began, and Turkish officials haven't given numbers. On Wednesday afternoon, AFP correspondents saw a steady trickle of Iranians arriving, with similar numbers crossing back into Iran -- several hundred at the most. A Turkish customs official told AFP that "there's nothing unusual compared to last year. Despite the war, the arrivals are quite stable," given that Van has always been a popular destination for Iranian tourists. Even so, flights between Van and Istanbul have been solidly booked up in both directions for days, as have long-distance coaches. Turkish bus drivers say the numbers have been higher over the past week. "We used to have three to four buses between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am but right now we have 30," driver Ismail Metin told AFP, saying many head to Istanbul some 1,500 kilometres away. Many Iranians are also trying to get home -- among them Ramin Rad, 37, who works in the tile business. He was in Van for work when the bombing started, and was hoping to get back to Urmia, the largest city in Iran's Western Azerbaijan province. "My family is safe," he said, confident that the war would not destabilise the regime and expressing anger at Israel. "How dare you change Allah's regime? Godwilling, Muslims will win," he said. Mirzanezhad Valehzagherd, a 49-year-old who works in tourism, often travels between Istanbul, where he lives, and Tehran, but was forced to go by land because there were no flights. "My family lives in Tehran," he told AFP, saying the situation there was "not bad" because Israel was targeting "military" sites. "People are not fleeing Tehran," he insisted, his words echoed by a woman in a straw hat who was going the other way. "We live in northern Cyprus and because there's no flights, we had to get a bus to the border from Tehran," said 45-year-old Seher who works in finance. "It's safe over there. There's no problem."

Russia's Putin says he's open to talks with Merz, Zelenskyy – DW – 06/19/2025
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is ready to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Russian leader is also open to talking with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was open to speaking to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as well as meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during a midnight meeting with international news agencies on Wednesday. Putin spoke on a range of matters, including what he called a resolution to the war in Ukraine and the recent hostilities between Israel and Iran. Russia launched an illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Despite repeated attempts at negotiating an end to the war, including from US President Donald Trump, Putin has shown little interest in stopping the fighting. What did Putin say about Merz? The Russian leaders said that if his German counterpart were to call and wanted to speak, he would take the call. "We are always open to this," Putin told the German news agency DPA. However, Putin said he does not view Germany as neutral regarding Russia's war against Ukraine, which Russia refers to as a "special operation." He said that Germany is on Ukraine's side, supplying tanks to the country and thus participating in the hostilities, and is therefore not a mediator. These were Putin's first public comments on the chancellor since Merz assumed his position in May. Later, Putin reiterated that Germany would directly participate in the war in Ukraine if it supplied Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv. He said that even if the missiles were supplied, they would not stop Russian forces from advancing along the entire Ukrainian frontline.

"I am even ready to meet him but only if it is some kind of final phase," he said. However, Putin reiterated his assertion that Zelenskyy lost his legitimacy when his term ended last year. Ukraine and its allies have rejected these allegations, as Ukrainian law bans elections during wartime. "We are ready for substantive talks on the principles of settlement," Putin said. He noted that the previous round of talks had paved the way for the exchange of prisoners and the bodies of fallen soldiers. Putin says Iran-Israel deal is possible Putin also offered to mediate an end to the conflict between Israel and Iran. He suggested that Moscow could negotiate a settlement allowing Tehran to pursue a peaceful nuclear program while addressing Israeli security concerns. Putin said he shared Moscow's proposals with Iran, Israel, and the United States. Trump has already rejected Russia playing any role in the mediation. Moscow and Tehran share close economic and political ties, with Iran providing drones that have been used in attacking Ukrainian towns and cities. Regime change in Iran, as has been called for by Israel, would likely be a major hit to Russia's influence in the region, especially following the ouster of Russian ally Bashar Assad in Syria in December. Putin acknowledged that it's a "delicate issue," but added that "in my view, a solution could be found." When asked how Russia would react if Israel killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Putin refused to answer, saying, "I don't even want to discuss such a possibility."

Gaza Rescuers Say 33 Killed By Israel Fire
Gaza's civil defence agency said 33 people were killed by Israeli fire in the Palestinian territory on Wednesday, including 11 who were seeking aid. The war sparked by Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel has ravaged the Gaza Strip and resulted in severe shortages of food, fuel and clean water. Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 11 people were killed and more than 100 wounded "after the occupation forces opened fire and launched several shells... at thousands of citizens" who had gathered to queue for food in central Gaza. The military told AFP that its forces operating in central Gaza identified "a group of suspicious individuals" approaching "in a manner that posed a potential threat to the forces." It said its troops then fired "warning shots", but that it was "unaware of injuries". In early March, Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza, amid a deadlock in truce negotiations, only partially easing restrictions in late May. Since then, chaotic scenes and a string of deadly shootings have occurred near areas where Palestinians have gathered in hopes of receiving aid. The civil defence agency said another 19 people were killed in three Israeli strikes on Wednesday, which it said targeted houses and a tent for displaced people. The Israeli military told AFP regarding one of those attacks that its troops were "operating to dismantle Hamas military capabilities". Later Wednesday, the Israeli army said a soldier -- staff sergeant Stav Halfon -- had been killed during an operation in the southern Gaza Strip. In another incident, three more people were killed in an Israeli air strike on a neighbourhood northeast of Gaza City on Wednesday, Bassal said. Israeli restrictions on media in the Gaza Strip and difficulties in accessing some areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence agency. The agency reported that at least 53 people were killed on Tuesday, as they gathered near an aid centre in the southern city of Khan Yunis hoping to receive flour. After Israel eased its blockade, the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began distributing aid in late May, but its operations have been marred by chaotic scenes and dozens of deaths. UN agencies and major aid groups have refused to cooperate with the foundation over concerns it was designed to cater to Israeli military objectives. However, the UN humanitarian office OCHA pointed out Tuesday that incidents "are also increasingly occurring along routes used by the UN to deliver humanitarian supplies", not just GHF. It added that its humanitarian partners, including the World Food Programme (WFP), have reported that fuel in Gaza was reaching "critically low levels". "Without immediate resupply, essential services -- including the provision of clean water -- will grind to a halt very soon," the statement added. OCHA said on Monday that its partners "continue to warn of the risk of famine in Gaza, amid catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity". The Hamas attack which triggered the war resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, according to Israeli official figures. The Gaza health ministry said on Wednesday that 5,334 people have been killed since Israel resumed major operations in the territory on March 18, ending a two-month truce. The overall death toll in Gaza since the war broke out has reached 55,637 people, according to the health ministry.
