Tehran readies metro stations as civil shelters
Iran is preparing Tehran's metro stations to serve as shelters in case of war. The city is getting ready by turning around 160 stations into safe havens for people during airstrikes, due to the lack of a pre-existing national shelter plan. Authorities are working on installing directional signs and identifying essential facilities within the stations, although some of these stations are situated more than 40 meters underground, which could make quick access difficult in emergencies. This comes alongside rising tensions with the United States and fears of an escalating military conflict.
