Iranians fear a possible return to all-out war as US and Israeli elections approach
Residents are stockpiling food and medicine as leaders trade threats and new strikes raise fears of another round of war.
- Eight months after the war began, President Donald Trump vowed to "finish the job" in Iran, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a close vote on Tuesday. Analysts warn Netanyahu's reelection could increase the risk of all-out war.
- As economic pressures mount, President Masoud Pezeshkian warned Iran faces "a dangerous turning point." With currency values at record lows, rice prices have risen over 60%, consuming half of monthly salaries for middle-class families.
- Residents in Tehran are stockpiling medicine and food amid fears of renewed bombing. Passersby at Tajrish Square recently viewed a mock prison installation featuring a Trump impersonator on Wednesday, Oct. 21, expressing symbolic resistance to potential escalation.
- Iran has threatened new targets, including undersea data cables within the Strait of Hormuz, amid a naval blockade restricting oil exports. Mohammad Abedi, a Tehran resident, said rising maritime attacks spurred him to "buy extra supplies."
- Former official Sasan Karimi said Iran's leadership expects Trump to order new strikes regardless of election results. Tehran is "calculating based on resistance," convinced this stance will alter the strategic calculations of opposing forces.
