USA and Iran have a truce for 5 weeks. The situation is now very bad. President Donald Trump says: The truce is almost over. It is like a sick person in the intensive care unit. A sick person needs much help to live. The chance for peace is only 1 percent.
Iran makes a new proposal. Iran demands money for damages from the war. This is called reparations. Iran wants an end to all punishments. These punishments are called sanctions. Iran also wants control over the Strait of Hormuz. That is a path for ships with oil. Trump calls these demands bad and stupid.
A big point of dispute is the atom program. The USA says: Iran promised to give away dangerous uranium. Uranium is a material for atom weapons. Iran says: That is not true. The leaders in Iran are ready for new fights. In the USA, gas prices rise very much. Many citizens are angry because of the high prices.
Companies for weapons and oil profit from the war. Companies for clean energy also make good business. Many people buy solar panels or cars from China. They want to be independent from expensive oil. The USA talks with experts about the war now.
