As the United States assembles its greatest military firepower in decades in the Middle East, tensions are escalating ahead of critical nuclear negotiations scheduled for Thursday in Geneva. Iranians are on edge, viewing these talks as a last chance to strike a deal with President Donald Trump, who has emphasized that he will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. Many Iranians feel hopeless, battered by decades of sanctions and the fallout from Trump's 2018 withdrawal from the nuclear deal. The situation is further complicated by Trump's rhetoric, where he described Iran as the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism and warned that the regime is rebuilding its nuclear weapons program amid a massive U.S. military buildup. This buildup is the largest since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, leading to rising oil prices as traders express concerns over potential supply disruptions.
