A: Hey! Did you hear about what’s happening in Iran? It’s pretty serious.

B: No, what happened? Tell me!

A: Well, lots of people are protesting because everything is so expensive. Like, really expensive.

B: Oh wow, inflation, huh? What’s causing it?

A: Apparently, it’s because of sanctions from the US and Europe. It's made things harder for people.

A: There's been some violence too, sadly. Reports say some people have died in clashes with the police.

B: That’s terrible! I heard different numbers... one said ten, another said twenty-nine?

A: Yeah, it’s hard to know for sure. Different news sources have different numbers.

B: I saw something about Trump saying the US might help the protestors?

A: Yeah, he mentioned it! But Iran’s government is not happy about it.

B: Seriously? Do the people in Iran want help from other countries?

A: Actually, no. They say they don't want anyone to interfere. They think it won’t help.

B: Makes sense. It’s probably better if they figure it out themselves, right?



A: Exactly! It's a tough situation.
