What is happening at the Iran–Armenia border?

At the Agarak checkpoint on the Armenia–Iran border, CivilNet speaks with refugees crossing from Iran as the war continues. Many Iranians are reluctant to speak on camera, fearing that any incautious remark could be seen as disloyal by the Iranian authorities. Despite concerns that the conflict could trigger a mass exodus, there are no crowds of refugees here. Some travelers say Iranian authorities are only allowing foreign or dual citizens to leave for Armenia, while others say many people simply cannot afford the cost of travel or are afraid to leave their homes amid ongoing strikes.
