Default Any truth to this news? (Iranian uprising)

Dozens of Aircraft with No Call-signs and Destination are leaving Iran. Are the powerful and the rich fleeing Iran?

Protests increasing in the last four days across Iran has made the top officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran very uneasy. Calls for severe actions against protestors has backfired against the government.

Today an unusually large number of aircraft with no Call-signs and unidentifiable destination were seen leaving Iran on FlightRadar. Speculations of the members of the government and rich fleeing Iran are being discussed by analysts familiar with the incident in Iran.

Nobody who has actual info on something like this can talk about on the internet.

Yeah...that’s not how ICAO and especially Tehran FIR operates.

More likely, those airframes aren’t ADS-B equipped

It's weird how nobody is reporting on it if it is true!! Anyway, maybe it's just and exaggeration of what is actually happening there.
