Heated debate between Trump and Netanyahu: Is Israel stabbing America in the back?
The suspense behind the scenes is now becoming deeper. US Ambassador to Lebanon Michelle Isa has made a very shocking revelation. He said there had been an “almost heated argument” over the phone between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the situation in Lebanon and Iran. Trump is monitoring this situation every day and he does not want this war to escalate further. Trump has warned Netanyahu in a stern tone that Israel will have to accept whatever final agreement is reached with Iran. However, the way Israel is carrying out attacks without informing America or giving very short notice, the rift between Washington and Tel Aviv has become clearly visible.

Sky guarded: Three countries closed airspace, crude oil caught fire
The updates that have come from the battlefield in the last 24 hours are hair-raising. Violating the ceasefire in April, Iran fired 30 ballistic missiles at Israel, in response to which Israeli fighter jets targeted Iranian military bases and petrochemical plants in Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan. After this bloody game, Iran closed the airspace of its western part, while Iraq has locked its skies for 72 hours and Syria for 12 hours. Due to this terrible tension there has been an outcry in the global oil market. Brent crude has jumped more than 3% to $ 96.75 per barrel. The whole world fears that if the oil supply in the Strait of Hormuz is stopped, the global economy will be completely destroyed.
Shadow of war on football field too: Mexico fled to Iran!
The heat of this war has now reached the playground. Iran’s national football team is facing a strange situation due to the tight suspense and restrictions of US visa restrictions. The US administration has decreed that the Iranian team will be allowed to enter the US only on the day of the match to play the World Cup match and will have to leave the country on the same day as soon as the match is over. Due to this strict ban, the Iranian team could not set up its training base in Arizona, USA and was forced to make Mexico its new base. On one hand, there are these differences in sports, while on the other hand, the orgy of death continues in Lebanon, where so far 3,637 innocent people have lost their lives in Israeli attacks. Now it remains to be seen whether Trump’s peace talks bear fruit or this spark turns into a third world war.
