Eyewitnesses Speak Out
Two Tehran residents have independently reported seeing a convoy of what appeared to be abandoned trucks carrying missiles on a major highway in the capital on the night of June 14th. The vehicles, believed to belong to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), were spotted between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. along the Tehran-Karaj expressway. Both witnesses, who agreed to speak on condition of anonymity due to security concerns, described the scene as “unsettling” and “unnatural.”
Farzaneh A., a graphic designer returning from a late freelance job in Karaj, recounted the moment she encountered the unusual sight.
“I was coming back to Tehran after finishing a last-minute presentation setup for a client. It was about 1:45 in the morning,” she said. “Traffic was light, but not empty. Then I saw four or five large military-style trucks pulled over on the shoulder, all spaced evenly.”
Farzaneh noted the absence of drivers or guards. “That’s what struck me. Usually, you’d expect some kind of armed personnel nearby—especially with something that serious. But the trucks were just… there. No lights on. No hazard signals. Just still, like they’d been dropped from the sky.”
She slowed as she passed and got a better look at what was beneath the tarps. “One of the covers had blown halfway off. What I saw underneath was unmistakable—long, cylindrical bodies with green paint and stenciled serial numbers. I’ve seen enough news images to know: they were missiles.”
Feeling uneasy, she accelerated past the scene. “I kept looking in my mirror, expecting to see someone chasing me. But nothing. No movement. Just silence.”
Second Witness: Reza M., 61, Retired Mechanic from Shahr-e-Rey
Reza M. was also on the expressway that night, driving back from the Imam Khomeini Airport after dropping off a relative for a pilgrimage flight.
“I’ve driven this highway for 30 years. I know what normal looks like. This wasn’t it,” he said. “Around 1:30, I spotted the tail end of a stationary convoy. At least six trucks, all painted a dull matte green.”
According to Reza, two of the trucks had been left with their rear loading flaps ajar. “I could see the tips of the missiles—sharp, pointed, maybe two or three meters in diameter. These weren’t fuel tanks or construction parts. These were weapons.”
He, too, noted the eerie absence of personnel. “No guards, no flashing lights, no escort vehicles. I thought: something went wrong.”
Reza slowed briefly but continued driving. “I didn’t want to stop and become part of whatever mess this might turn into. But I knew I had to tell someone.”
As of June 20, there has been no official acknowledgment or statement from the Iranian authorities or the IRGC regarding military transport on the Tehran-Karaj expressway that night. Security experts suggest that such an unguarded display is highly unusual, raising questions about internal logistics or possible sabotage.
