Sept. 21 - Life in Iran is a daily struggle for survival amid runaway inflation and the constant fear of arrest and imprisonment: That is the upshot of Kayhan Life’s recent conversations with Iranians living inside the country who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Nine months since the start of nationwide protests which resulted in the massacre of tens of thousands, and at a time when the U.S.-Iran war drags on with no end in sight, citizens of Iran are facing an excruciating battle to survive and put food on their table.

Survey results showed that the desire to emigrate among Iranians has declined by around 8 percent — indicating, not that people wish to stay in Iran, but rather that they have reached high levels of despair.

A housewife living in Mehrshahr, Karaj, northwest of Tehran, told Kayhan Life: “Since they raised the price of gasoline, there have been more officers on the streets. Every night, armed Basij (militia) members patrol the streets. Several officers and motorcycle units are stationed outside every mosque.”

“They have deployed a motorcycle unit with two or three officers every 200 meters. These scenes frighten people. The motorcycle units stand by the roadside, holding large guns. Every time I pass them, my whole body trembles with fear.”

A 20-year-old man who worked in Tehran as a Snapp (Iran’s largest ride-hailing service) driver said: “My girlfriend is constantly telling me, ‘Let’s leave this place.’ My mother also wants us to leave because we have no future here. No matter how hard we work, we get nothing out of it.”

“Earlier today, I was at my mother’s house, and we were talking about getting engaged. I chose a very simple engagement ring and matching band that cost 170 million tomans ($742). I calculated that I would have to earn six months of a government salary to buy a simple ring.”

RIYADH/DUBAI, Sept 21 (Reuters) – Houthi fighters pushed to seize strategic heights in Yemen on Monday to cut off the Red Sea coast from remaining areas held by Saudi-backed forces, after a report that President Donald Trump had called off US strikes on the group at the last minute.

A lightning advance by the Iran-backed group this month has extended the wider Middle East conflict to a new theatre and further threatened global energy supplies. Washington has so far rebuffed repeated pleas from Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to join the fight in Yemen.

The New York Times reported that the Trump administration had prepared to launch airstrikes on Sunday against the Houthis after fresh pleas from the Saudi crown prince. But the newspaper said Trump called off the airstrikes at the last minute, even as troops were loading bombs onto aircraft.

Reuters could not immediately verify the Times’ report. The US military’s Central Command referred questions to the White House. The White House did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Co

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, announced the EU Kids Act in her September 2026 State of the Union address — a proposed law that would bar children under 13 from accessing social-media services and require unsupervised personal accounts to be limited to those 15 and older, as part of a broader push on online safety for minors.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, Sept 20 (Reuters) – Iran and the United States exchanged new threats on Sunday, with President Donald Trump warning Iran would fail economically or face its leadership being wiped out if it didn’t make a deal, and the Iranian military saying it would retaliate harshly to any fresh attack.

The conflict has looked stalemated for months, with no sign either side was ready for concessions even as it has deepened a global energy crisis, cratered swathes of Iran‘s economy and spilled over into new regional escalations.

In a phone call with a Fox News reporter, Trump said Iran‘s leaders should make a deal, rot economically or be wiped out, the reporter said.

However, with Iran‘s President Masoud Pezeshkian expected in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly, Trump said he would be open to meeting him, the Fox reporter added.

Trump has repeatedly made vague threats of major military escalations during the conflict that began with US and Israeli strikes on February 28, without carrying them out.

Earlier, Iran‘s military central command said any new attack would trigger sustained retaliation against US bases and interests and that Washington’s regional allies would be considered parties to the conflict.

The Iranian military added that it had information that an attack was being prepared, without elaborating on what that information might be.
