Iranians stock up on food and medicine as fears of new US fighting grow

Iranians are stockpiling food and medicines amid fears of shortages due to increased US sanctions, including a naval blockade and strict sanctions that threaten imports. People in Tehran are concerned about potential supply disruptions, with some shopping heavily in anticipation of further conflict. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the US blockade at the UN, stating it prevents essential goods from reaching the population. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's offer for a seven-day truce in exchange for economic relief as tensions escalate.
