The war in the Middle East continues. Fighting between the USA, Israel, and Iran gets stronger. The head of the United Nations says: The war is out of control. He warns of a much bigger war in the world. Israel attacks targets in Lebanon and in Iran. Many people die there. The USA sends 3,000 new soldiers to the region.
There are reports about a plan for peace. This plan has 15 points. The USA sent the plan to Iran. But Iran says: We will not talk with the USA. The leaders in Iran call the plan too much. They made their own plan with 5 points. They ask for an end to the attacks. Also, nobody should kill their leaders anymore.
The Strait of Hormuz is almost closed. This is an important way for ships with oil. Only a few ships can drive there. Because of this, gas and heating oil get more expensive in the whole world. Many countries worry a lot. They want diplomacy to defeat the war. Diplomacy means that countries talk to each other. They should not fight instead.
