Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated significantly, with President Trump recently claiming that 32,000 people were killed during last month's nationwide protests in Iran, a figure disputed by Iranian officials who reported a much lower toll of 3,117. Amidst these claims, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi demanded evidence from the U.S. and stated that Tehran would not bow to pressure from world powers regarding nuclear negotiations. As the threat of war looms, many Tehran residents, like Hamid, express deep anxiety, fearing a repeat of last year's conflict with Israel. 'I don’t sleep well at night even while taking pills,' he said, reflecting widespread concern over the potential for renewed violence.
