The Iranian opposition has reported that police stations in Tehran are being evacuated amid escalating tensions, according to military analyst Chananel Aviv. The report is unverified and comes from opposition-aligned sources.
The Iranian opposition reported Saturday evening that police stations in Tehran are being evacuated amid escalating tensions, according to a post by military analyst Chananel Aviv. The report narrows earlier claims of a nationwide evacuation to the capital, but remains unverified by independent sources.
The story unfolded from 16:57 Jerusalem, when Iranian media first reported police stations closing nationwide without prior notice. At the same time, a specific station — Police Station No. 144 in Tehran's Jawadiah neighborhood — was reported evacuated, sealed, and closed. Also at 16:57, an Iranian opposition figure claimed a massive, nationwide evacuation of police stations. The Zioneer published a bulletin on that opposition claim at 20:00 Jerusalem. All reports have come from opposition-aligned or unverified sources, with no official confirmation from Iranian authorities.
These reports come amid a broader period of heightened regional tensions. The Zioneer has previously reported on explosions and fires across Iran on June 7, signals of an imminent Iranian response to a US deal on June 15, and the evacuation of Tehran's Mehrabad Airport on July 9 — all unverified claims from opposition or Iranian sources.
The reason for the reported evacuations remains unclear, and the scope — whether limited to Tehran or extending nationwide — has not been independently confirmed. The information should be treated with caution.
