Tehran is a death trap waiting to explode—Farahzad

DDM News

Iranian television presenter Fardad Farahzad has raised a dire alarm over the growing uncertainty in Tehran, warning that the city may be on the brink of catastrophe.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that Farahzad, a prominent journalist and outspoken critic of the Iranian regime, made the statement via a tweet from his verified Twitter account, expressing deep concern for millions of citizens trapped in the capital.

“The fate of millions of Iranian citizens depends on the decision of the leaders of the Islamic Republic,” Farahzad wrote. “It is almost impossible for anyone to leave Tehran.

I hope the right decision is made before a huge disaster occurs.”

His words reflect widespread anxiety in Iran amid escalating geopolitical tensions, both within and beyond its borders.

Recent hostilities involving Iran, Israel, and the United States have raised fears of an imminent conflict, which many believe could erupt in or around Tehran, the political and economic heart of the country.

Farahzad’s reference to the impossibility of leaving the city suggests the likelihood of a lockdown, travel restrictions, or even a collapse in basic transportation systems under mounting pressure from security crackdowns or mass panic.

Although he did not identify a specific threat, his use of the term “huge disaster” has sparked concern among observers and citizens alike, pointing to possible military escalation, internal unrest, or widespread infrastructural failure.

Fardad Farahzad is widely known for his criticism of the Iranian authorities and his advocacy for democratic reforms.

His warning is being interpreted by some analysts as a call to both the international community and Iranian citizens to take the signs of a national crisis seriously.

As of now, the Iranian government has not issued an official response to the tweet.

With diplomatic negotiations floundering and public trust in leadership declining, Farahzad’s message is a stark reminder of the potential consequences of inaction.

The eyes of the world remain fixed on Tehran as developments unfold.
