Tensions Rise: What’s Going On Between Iran, Israel, and the US?

Iran is not happy with the US right now. A top Iranian official, Abbas Araghchi, warned that if the US gets involved in the fighting between Israel and Iran, things could get really bad for everyone. He even suggested that the US has been helping Israel bomb Iran from the start.

These comments come at a time when nobody is quite sure what role the US will play in all of this.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the US military is moving equipment around, which adds to the uncertainty.

President Trump says he’ll decide in the next two weeks whether or not the US will take action against Iran. He also mentioned that he’s open to talks with Iran, but he’s also ready to use force if needed.

The US and Iran were supposed to have more talks about a nuclear deal, but those have been cancelled because of the current conflict. Iran says it won’t negotiate while it’s being attacked.

Trump wants any deal with Iran to include a ban on enriching uranium (which can be used to make nuclear weapons), and he wants a real end to the conflict, not just a temporary pause.

It’s still unclear exactly what the US will do. Trump has been vague about it, saying he might strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, and he did, or he might not. He seems to like making decisions at the last minute.
