📌 THREAD: Death Toll in Tehran Exceeds 1,000 — Residents Fleeing the Capital
Status: TIER 1 — CAPITAL CASUALTY UPDATE

PBS NewsHour — According to sources cited by PBS, the death toll in Tehran alone has exceeded 1,000. Residents are abandoning the city en masse due to continuous bombing. The Guardian reports 58,000 displaced across the country — mass flights triggered by rumors (often incorrect) of evacuation orders. [PBS]

Note: the previously reported national total (787 deaths — Iranian Red Crescent) was a NATIONAL count. Today's figure of 1,000+ deaths is specific to Tehran alone — the true national total is necessarily higher.

Delta: Tehran is a city of 9 million people experiencing sustained bombing of infrastructure and IRGC sites. An estimate of 1,000+ dead in the capital alone in 5 days implies a true national toll well beyond what has been officially communicated. The mass flight from the capital adds a humanitarian crisis to the military one.
