The heads of state of the EU meet in Brussels. They have big worry about the war in the Middle East. The USA and Israel fight against Iran. Iran attacks sites for oil and gas. This happens on the Persian Gulf. Ships with energy for Europe are also in danger. Prices for gas and heating rise a lot. This hurts the economy in Europe.
The EU asks for a stop to the violence. All sides must leave the energy sites alone. This is important for the safety of the world. UN Chief Ant io Guterres warns of bad results. He says: The war is against the law. It brings much pain for the people. The situation can get out of control. Guterres asks US President Donald Trump for peace.
In the USA there is a fight about money for the war. The military wants 200 billion Dollars extra. Many politicians from the Republican Party think this is bad. They criticize the high costs for the Iran war. The war lasts for over 2 weeks now. Experts hope for talks. Only this way can the energy crisis end.
