Tehran’s streets fell eerily silent late Thursday night as residents braced for potential U.S. military action, according to on-the-ground reports from CMG reporter Li Jiannan. 🚨 Shops shuttered hours early, and normally bustling neighborhoods resembled ghost towns—a stark shift locals say reflects “palpable anxiety” over escalating tensions.
🔍 Li observed: “The energy here has shifted dramatically. People are glued to news updates while preparing for the worst.” While neither Washington nor Tehran has confirmed imminent strikes, the U.S. recently deployed additional forces to the Middle East following renewed disputes over nuclear negotiations.
🌐 Analysts warn miscalculations could destabilize the region further. With global oil prices already volatile, markets are watching closely. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
