A residential building and a telecom tower were struck overnight, as Iran and the US launched more strikes over Hormuz.

Many Iranians inside the country feel they are being unjustly erased from the international community.

Iranian authorities believe they can withstand US sanctions, but warn of a tough year ahead.

Sanctions and the US-Israel war on Iran have left the country’s people unable to keep pace with rising prices.

Tehran may count on links with China and others to weather the storm, but average Iranian people will bear the brunt.

Prices for food and other items are soaring, and there is a history of unrest, so any increase is being considered.

Iran says production is ongoing, but details will not be revealed during war conditions.

Citizens and entities would have to seek authorisation to contact universities or talk to foreign media.

Iran’s authorities say they could shift to offensive operations as Washington considers further sanctions.

Iran’s more offensive posture follows Trump’s comment that the US would soon make the Strait of Hormuz its territory.
