A: Hey, did you hear anything about the US and Iran? It’s kinda crazy!

B: No, what’s going on? Tell me!

A: Apparently, the US Navy shot down an Iranian drone!

B: Wow, really? Near a US aircraft carrier?

A: Yep! An F-35 fighter jet took it out. They said it was to protect the ship and the people on board. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and nothing was damaged.

B: That’s good to hear. Is this about the nuclear program stuff?

A: Exactly! The US sent a big carrier to the Middle East to try and get Iran to talk about it.

B: I heard something about talks happening soon too. In Istanbul, right?

A: Yeah, but now Iran wants to move the meeting to Oman! Just for talks with the US, one-on-one.

B: Seriously? That’s a big change!

A: It is! Some people are worried it could mean the talks fall apart.

B: Oh no! Do you think things will get worse?

A: Well, if the talks fail, there’s concern that Trump might have to use the military.

B: That's a bit scary, isn't it? Let's hope they can sort things out!
