Fears of renewed conflict haunt Tehran as U.S. issues threats

Iran has now resumed talks with Washington, with Iran insisting they be limited to the nuclear issue, though Washington has previously pushed for Tehran's ballistic missiles program and support for armed groups in the region to be on the table. "I think at this stage, war between Iran and the U.S. as well as Israel is inevitable and I've prepared myself for that eventuality," the IT technician told AFP. The situation has forced Iranians to follow the news closely, and only adds to anxiety over surging prices and the plunging national currency following widespread protests.
