Residents in Iran are reportedly preparing for the possibility of renewed hostilities with Israel and the United States, according to The New York Times. Widespread anxiety is growing amid fears of potential strikes from the US and Israel. In Tehran, citizens have been stocking up on food, filling car fuel tanks, and withdrawing money from bank accounts. Some families are hesitant to send their children to school, and bloggers are advising followers to exercise caution and avoid non-essential travel.
Sources indicate that negotiations between Tehran and Washington have reached an impasse. The economic situation in Iran, marked by rising prices and a sharp decline in the national currency's value, is exacerbating the tension. The US has not yet made a final decision regarding potential strikes.
For many Iranians, preparations for potential conflict have become a routine part of life, leading to emotional exhaustion from the constant anticipation of hostilities. The report notes that Iran has already experienced two periods of intense clashes since June 2025. A local businessman shared his concern, stating, "I just told my wife not to wake our son in the morning and to leave him at home. We will decide how to proceed, day by day." The unpredictability of US President Donald Trump's actions is cited as a significant factor increasing their anxiety.

The article also references previous reports of increasing diplomatic and military pressure on Iran, suggesting that a failure to reach an agreement could lead to a full-scale conflict.
