Hours before Israel began bombing Iran’s capital Tehran, Mohammad Reza Azimi left.<\/p>\n

The escape was not planned; it was luck<\/p>\n

“I left Tehran just a day before the attacks began, unaware that any such escalation was imminent,” he told the ABC.<\/p>\n

The migration agent from Sydney was in the capital, visiting his parents and siblings before the conflict between Israel and Iran unfolded.<\/p>\n

His wife and daughter back home in Australia are anxiously waiting to hear from him, hoping he will be safe.<\/p>\n

He is booked on a flight to leave the country on July 4, but he feels conflicted about escaping early while Iran is in turmoil.<\/p>\n

The latest Iran-Israel conflict began after Israel launched dozens of air strikes against Iranian targets last Friday.<\/p>\n

It coincided with a report from the United Nations watchdog that found Iran had failed to comply with its nuclear obligations — the first time in almost 20 years.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the conflict, Iran and Israel have traded fire, with explosions in Tel Aviv and Tehran.<\/p>\n

Israel’s air campaign has struck several nuclear and military sites, killing top generals and nuclear scientists.<\/p>\n

A Washington-based Iranian human rights group said at least 639 people, including 263 civilians, had been killed in Iran and more than 1,300 wounded but Tehran was not providing regular updates on the death toll.<\/p>\n
