Tensions between the United States and Iran have reached a critical point, with President Trump signaling a potential military strike as early as this weekend. Reports indicate that Trump is considering a 'token' nuclear deal that would allow limited uranium enrichment under strict conditions, but skepticism remains high regarding Iran's compliance. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran's plan would be completed within 'two or three days,' yet U.S. officials warn that military options are still on the table, including plans that could target Iranian leadership directly. This precarious situation is exacerbated by Trump's military buildup in the Gulf, which has raised fears of an imminent conflict among Tehran residents, many of whom feel it is only a matter of time before war returns to their lives. Hamid, a Tehran resident, expressed his anxiety, stating, 'I don’t sleep well at night even while taking pills,' reflecting a widespread sentiment of dread following last year's war with Israel, which lasted 12 days and left a lasting impact on the city.
