00:00As the United States continues to threaten military action against Iran,
00:05Iranians are anxiously awaiting a new round of talks set to take place in Geneva this week.
00:12They're hoping the two countries can strike a deal over Iran's nuclear program
00:17and ward off the outbreak of war.
00:23Everybody is worried because of the consequences of war with a country like America.
00:29We once fought Iraq for eight years, but it was a country at the same level with us.
00:34But going to war with America, Israel and NATO will have very horrible and unpredictable consequences.
00:42That's why people are concerned.
00:44But what can we do? We can't leave our country.
00:47We have no choice but to adapt.
00:51The tensions with the U.S. are coming on the heels of the Iranian regime's
00:55bloodyest crackdown on dissent in modern history.
01:00Security forces killed thousands of people and detained tens of thousands more.
01:07Actually, I have no hope for a deal.
01:12Iran is refusing to back down from its positions for sure,
01:16because if it does, it would have officially given up its 40-year-old ideology.
01:23So I have no hope.
01:27The leaders of both countries speak often,
01:29and none of them is willing to concede to reach a deal.
01:33So the likelihood for war is high.
01:40On Tuesday, President Trump said he'd like to find a diplomatic solution to the standoff.
01:46But Thursday's talks will take place under the shadow of the largest assembly of military firepower
01:52America has deployed to the Middle East in decades.
