By Parisa Hafezi and Angus McDowall DUBAI, April 1 By Parisa Hafezi and Angus McDowall
DUBAI, April 18 – Iranians striving to maintain a semblance of normal life after weeks of U.S. and Israeli bombing and a deadly crackdown on protesters in January remain daunted by the future, as damage from airstrikes and internet cuts take a toll.

With talks expected on extending a truce and agreeing an end to the conflict, shops, restaurants and government offices have stayed open. On sunny spring mornings, city parks are busy with picnicking families and young people playing sports, while others gather at streetside cafes.

But behind such peaceful scenes, Iran‘s economy is in tatters and people are fearful of a new government clampdown and angry about the destructive airstrikes.

The difficulties that spurred mass unrest in January look likely to worsen.

Iran‘s foreign minister on Friday said the Strait of Hormuz was open following a ceasefire accord for Lebanon, while U.S. President Donald Trump said he believed a deal to end the Iran war would come soon.

“The war will end, but that’s when our real problems with the system begin. I’m very afraid that if the regime reaches an agreement with the United States, it will increase pressure on ordinary people,” a 37-year-old named Fariba who took part in the January unrest told Reuters by phone from Iran.

“People have not forgotten the regime’s crimes in January, and the system has not forgotten that people do not want it. They are holding back now because they don’t want to fight on a domestic front as well,” she said.

The bombing has killed thousands, according to official death tolls, including many at a school on the first day of the conflict.

WASHINGTON, April 18 (Reuters) – Seven weeks of war have failed to topple Iran’s theocratic rulers or force them to meet all of President Donald Trump’s demands, but for U.S. adversaries and allies it has cast a spotlight on one of his central vulnerabilities: economic pressure.

Even with Iran’s announcement on Friday that it was reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, the Middle East crisis has revealed the limits of Trump’s willingness to tolerate domestic economic pain.

Trump joined Israel in attacking Iran on February 28 based on what he said were imminent security threats, especially over its nuclear program. But now, with U.S. gasoline prices high, inflation rising and his approval ratings down, Trump is racing to secure a diplomatic deal that could stem the fallout at home.

Iran has taken a beating militarily, but demonstrated it can exact economic costs that Trump and his aides underestimated, unleashing the worst-ever global energy shock, analysts say.

Trump has often publicly shrugged off domestic economic concerns driven by the war.

But he can hardly ignore that though the U.S. does not depend on the one-fifth of global oil shipments that were effectively blocked by Iran’s chokehold on the strait, surging energy costs have hit U.S. consumers. The International Monetary Fund’s warning of a risk of global recession adds to the gloom.

Pressure for a way out of the unpopular war has mounted as Trump’s fellow Republicans defend narrow majorities in Congress in the November midterm elections.

None of this has been lost on Iran‘s leaders, who have used their grip on the strait to push Trump’s team to the negotiating table.

WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD, April 18 (Reuters) – A convoy of oil tankers was crossing the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, the first major movement of ships in the crucial waterway since the U.S. and Israel launched their war on Iran seven weeks ago.

The group of four liquefied petroleum gas carriers and several oil product and chemical tankers, was passing through Iranian waters south of Larak Island with more tankers following from the [Persian] Gulf, according to MarineTraffic data.

U.S. President Donald Trump hours earlier had cited “some pretty good news” about Iran, declining to elaborate. He also said fighting might resume without a peace deal by Wednesday.

Iran reopened the strait, which before the war carried a fifth of the world’s oil trade, following a separate U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement on Thursday by Israel and Lebanon.

The war with Iran, which began on February 28 with a U.S.-Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic, has killed thousands, spread to Israeli attacks in Lebanon and sent oil prices surging because of the de facto closure of the strait.
Following a demonstration held on April 11th in re Following a demonstration held on April 11th in response to a call from Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the organization Stage of Freedom has announced a second march in London scheduled for Saturday, April 18th. 
The event, intended for Iranians and supporters advocating for a secular, democratic Iran, is set to begin at 2:00 PM opposite 10 Downing Street (SW1A 2AA) and will proceed toward the Islamic Republic of Iran’s embassy, concluding at 5:00 PM.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

April 17 (Reuters) – The benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq traded at record highs on Friday, while the blue-chip Dow hit its highest level in over two months, as investors cheered Iran‘s decision to open the Strait of Hormuz and were optimistic it could reach an agreement with the United States.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in a post on X that passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz was “completely open” for the remainder of the 10-day truce between Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah agreed to in Lebanon.

This followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that talks could take place this weekend between Tehran and Washington and that they could soon secure a peace agreement to end the Iran war, which has left thousands dead since the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran on February 28.

With traders increasingly confident that an end to the war is near, U.S. crude oil prices tumbled more than 11%, alleviating inflation concerns. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital waterway for global energy transportation.

“The concern about oil putting the world into a slowdown diminishes as it’s onward and upward for a possible final deal,” said Bob Doll, CEO of Crossmark, who noted that while there is still no signed U.S.-Iran deal, “it looks like it’s heading in a direction that’s enough for the market to go up.”

At 2:13 p.m. EDT the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 914.48 points, or 1.88%, to 49,493.20, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 79.81 points, or 1.13%, to 7,121.09 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC gained 322.20 points, or 1.34%, to 24,424.91.

All three indexes were cruising toward their third consecutive week of gains. The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC was on course to extend its winning run to 13 days, its longest since January 1992. The small-cap Russell 2000 hit its first intraday record high since the U.S.-Iran conflict erupted.
