A: Hey Hana-chan! Did you hear anything crazy on the news today?

B: Oh, hi Kenji! No, what's up?

A: It's about Trump and Iran! Apparently, Iran cancelled hanging over 800 people.

B: Wow, seriously? That’s a lot of people! Trump had something to do with it?

A: Yeah! He said he was thankful to Iran's leaders. He'd warned them before about military action if they cracked down on protests.

B: Hmm, so he was kind of threatening them? It sounds a bit tense!

A: Exactly! But Trump said *he* convinced himself to not do anything. He didn’t need anyone else to tell him!

B: Haha, that's pretty Trump, isn’t it? Taking all the credit.

A: Totally! The news says it *might* mean a military thing isn’t happening…

B: Really? But I read something online that said Israeli officials still think a strike could happen soon.

A: I saw that too! So, we’re not sure yet. It’s kind of confusing!



B: Yeah, it is. Let's hope things calm down!
