Thousands of Iranians gathered in Bushehr, the city with Iran's sole nuclear power plant, as the deadline set by US President Donald Trump approached. The rallies followed Trump's threats to strike Iranian infrastructure if Tehran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This demonstrates a high level of tension between the US and Iran.
Mixed reactions followed a ceasefire notion after President Trump threatened 'whole civilization' of Iran. Local Iranians and lawmakers expressed relief at the pause in fighting. However, they also voiced concern over Trump's threats to target power plants and bridges.
