Tensions at the Turkey Iran border are rising after deadly strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran. Those attacks on March 1 killed Supreme Leader Ali Kaminay and other top officials. Now, Iranian citizens trying to cross into Turkey's eastern van province at the Kapi Koi Gate are facing major delays. Travelers who made it through on Sunday describe growing crowds on the Iranian side near Koi. They pointed to unclear reasons for the hold-ups, like possible technical problems with passport systems. Even manual checks slow things down for everyone. Eyewitnesses noted no huge backups on the Turkish side, where traffic looked normal over the weekend. Local Turkish reports suggested only Turkish nationals could enter from Iran, while Iranians

Meanwhile, Israel launched fresh strikes on Tehran, as Iran faces its toughest challenge in decades. The border situation remains fluid, with officials on both sides insisting crossings are open, but travelers tell a different story for now.
