After Trump’s Iran ultimatum and a fragile ceasefire, Iranian Americans brace for what’s next

Iranian Americans are experiencing uncertainty as the Trump administration imposes deadlines and intermediaries seek paths to avoid escalation of the war in Iran. It is like whiplash for those worried about the safety of relatives back home. Some are protesting the war. Others are watching anxiously, choosing to keep opinions to themselves to avoid being targeted.
