There is war in Iran for weeks. The USA and Israel fight against Iran. Now there is hope for a ceasefire. Boris Pistorius is the Defense Minister of Germany. He says: Germany can help with the peace. Soldiers from Germany could protect the ceasefire. This works only if all countries want this.
The war has bad effects for the economy. German companies sell fewer goods abroad. Experts call this 'export expectations'. These have dropped a lot. Also prices for gasoline could rise. An expert warns: At the end of April there could be too little fuel. This comes from problems with oil supply.
Iran demands much money from ships. Ships must pay a fee if they travel through the sea. People call this a toll. In the city Graz in Austria there are also worries. The city now saves 47 million Euros. It wants to keep this money for emergencies. All people hope for a fast end to the fighting.
