As 2025 comes to a close, Iranians are facing a tough reality: war, strict sanctions and growing repression. Six months after the brief 12-day conflict with Israel in June, new threats are stirring tension in the region. 😟
Renewed Threats on the Horizon
On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel is closely watching Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran as they rearm. “We are not looking for confrontations, but our eyes are open to any possible danger,” he said before heading to the U.S. for a year-end meeting with President Donald Trump.
Missiles, Meetings and the Road Ahead
According to an Israeli official, Netanyahu and Trump will assess Iran’s progress on ballistic missiles and discuss the possibility of further military action. For many Iranians, the idea of another strike brings anxiety about what’s next. 🤔
What's Next?
With international pressure mounting and internal voices silenced by repression, Iran’s future feels like a suspense thriller—every move could change the ending. As sanctions bite and regional alliances shift, the world watches: will diplomacy prevail, or is the next chapter written on the battlefield?
