Anxiety is rising in Iran and Israel as President Donald Trump escalates pressure on Iran’s leadership over its nuclear program and internal crackdowns. At least 10 U.S. warships are moving toward Iranian waters as diplomatic efforts show limited progress.
Trump said he warned Iran’s leaders to abandon nuclear ambitions and stop killing protesters.

Tehran has denied direct talks with Washington, saying communication continues only through intermediaries. Iran has rejected limits on uranium enrichment and missile development.
Inside Iran, sanctions, inflation, and internet shutdowns have deepened economic pain. Some citizens expressed fear of war but also hope Trump will support protesters. Others warned the U.S. would face retaliation.
In Israel, memories of a recent conflict with Iran have fueled public concern. Local authorities have reopened bomb shelters, flights have been canceled, and residents are preparing amid uncertainty. Officials say no formal ceasefire or agreement exists.
