As of February 2026, Iranians are bracing for potential war as the U.S. considers military action, while indirect negotiations are set to occur in Geneva. Despite well-stocked stores, many Iranians are in limbo, with some preparing emergency bags and escape plans. Others feel resigned or paralyzed by anxiety, recalling the traffic chaos during the previous conflict with Israel. The Iranian government has offered limited contingency plans, such as using metro stations as shelters, but experts cite the need for essential facilities. The fate of approximately 90 million Iranians hangs in the balance as diplomatic efforts continue.
