Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated further, with President Trump recently threatening that 'bad things' would happen to Iran if a nuclear deal is not reached within the next 10 to 15 days. This comes amid a significant military buildup in the Gulf, which many analysts interpret as preparations for potential military action against Iran. Trump's administration is reportedly considering a 'token' nuclear deal that would allow limited uranium enrichment under strict conditions, although skepticism remains high regarding Iran's willingness to comply. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has indicated that a draft deal is nearly ready, yet he criticized the U.S. military posturing as 'unnecessary and unhelpful.' Meanwhile, Tehran residents express deep anxiety, with one resident stating, 'I don’t sleep well at night even while taking pills,' reflecting widespread fears of renewed conflict following last year's war with Israel.
