Hey there! Have you heard about the recent news between Iran and Israel? They just agreed to a fragile ceasefire, which means they decided to stop fighting for now. But things are still a bit shaky.
Iran and Israel are two countries in the Middle East. Sometimes, they have disagreements that can lead to conflicts.
Recently, there were airstrikes between the two countries. Airstrikes are when planes drop bombs on places. This caused a lot of damage and sadly, many people were hurt.
In Iran, over 600 people lost their lives, and more than 4,700 were injured. In Israel, 28 people died. These numbers show how serious the situation was.
On Tuesday, both countries agreed to stop fighting. This agreement is called a ceasefire. But since they don’t trust each other completely, the ceasefire is described as ‘fragile’, which means it could easily break.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said he was frustrated with both sides. He felt like they have been fighting for so long that they might have forgotten why they were fighting in the first place.
There was also talk about Iran’s nuclear program. Some countries are worried that Iran might be building nuclear weapons, which are very powerful bombs. Israel’s leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Israel had damaged Iran’s nuclear program a lot. But a report from the United States said that the damage wasn’t as big as Israel claimed.
Iran’s President, Masoud Pezeshkian, said that Iran is willing to talk about its nuclear program. However, he also said Iran wants to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, like making electricity.
Even though both sides agreed to the ceasefire, they still don’t trust each other. Experts say that because they have so many disagreements, it’s hard to be sure the ceasefire will last.
Wang Jin, a director at a university, said that the ceasefire is fragile because there is no formal agreement, just a verbal promise. Also, there isn’t a strong system to make sure both sides keep their promise.
Fu Cong, China’s representative to the United Nations, urged both sides to stick to the ceasefire and avoid any more conflicts.
It’s important for countries to find peaceful ways to solve their problems. Many people around the world hope that Iran and Israel can continue talking and avoid further fighting.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed 🤞 that peace will last!
