There is war in the Middle East. US President Donald Trump gave new hope. He speaks about talks for peace. So the USA does not attack power plants in Iran for now. Trump waits 5 days more. But Iran says: There are no talks.
The war continues in the meantime. Iran shoots many rockets at Israel. The rockets often have cluster bombs. These are very dangerous weapons. One rocket spreads many small bombs over a large area. This causes chaos and hurts many people.
There are also staff changes in Iran. Mohammed Bagher Solghadr is the new head for security. He follows Ali Larijani. Larijani died in an attack by Israel. The leaders in Iran do not want to give up. They keep fighting against Israel and the USA.
There is criticism of the war in Germany. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier is worried. He calls the war against the law. He asks for a quick end to the violence. Many people in Australia are also against the war. Only a few support the fight against Iran.
The war has effects for the whole world. Prices for oil and gas rise a lot. This makes life more expensive for many people. Ursula von der Leyen warns about the high costs. Europe must find new ways for energy now.
