Introduction

The US and Iran talked in Pakistan. They did not agree. Now, the US Navy is stopping ships from entering Iranian ports. The UK does not want to help the US with this plan.

Main Body

The US wanted Iran to stop making nuclear weapons. Iran said no. Because of this, President Trump sent the US Navy to block Iranian ports. This started on April 13. The UK leader, Keir Starmer, said his soldiers will not help the US. President Trump is unhappy about this. The UK and France want a different plan to keep the sea safe. Other countries also do not want to join the US. Now, oil prices are very high. Oil is more than $100 per barrel. This is bad for the world economy. In the US, gas is more expensive. Iran says the US is acting like pirates. Iran may attack other ships in the sea. Israel is also watching. The peace stop is almost over. Experts say Iran still has many small, fast boats and mines. These are dangerous for ships.

Conclusion

The world is worried. The peace deal is ending soon. People fear a big war and high oil prices.
