International urgent calls for restraint seem to fall into the ears of a deaf while the world was based to intensify conflicts in the Middle East.
All eyes are in the White House, while US President Donald Trump weighs by performing direct military strikes on Iran. Such an act would represent a spectacular deepening of the involvement of the United States in what has so far been limited to the attacks between Iran and the United States Ally Israel.

The Kremlin warned Thursday that the American intervention in Iran would trigger a “terrible climbing spiral”, while the spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, told Reuters that the world was “millimeters” far from the nuclear disaster. Russia is currently mired in its own war in Ukraine, which also involves a fight against a large nuclear power plant.
In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer chaired an emergency meeting in Cobra – the national management system for the country’s crisis – while his government is working to withdraw families from the British Embassy of Tel Aviv.
The high -level intelligence meeting followed the presence of Starmer at the G7 summit in Canada, during which he joined other leaders of the group to repeat their “commitment to peace and stability”.
But the chances of diplomacy seem more and more dark while Iran and Israel continue to negotiate more and more fatal blows and the leaders of the countries involved show no sign of decline in the edge.
Trump remained unclear in his comments on the question of whether the United States would attack Iran.
“I can do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran has a lot of problems and that they want to negotiate,” he told journalists on the lawn of the White House on Wednesday.
He added that “next week will be tall”.
The president later declared in the oval office he liked “to make the final decision for a second before it was due … because things change. Especially with the war”.
‘Dirty Work’
The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz aroused a certain controversy, affirming Tuesday in an interview that Israel was doing the “dirty work” for other countries by making strikes on the Iranian nuclear sites.
“I can only say that I have the greatest respect for the fact that the Israeli army and the Israeli government had the courage to do so,” Merz told a German diffuser. Foreign ministers in Germany, France and the United Kingdom should meet their Iranian counterpart on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Xinhua state media service in China cited Chinese Prime Minister Xi Jinping saying that a cease-fire between Israel and Iran is “an urgent priority” and that the use of force is not the right way to resolve the conflict.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Xi held a telephone call Thursday, during which the two men strongly condemned Israel, claiming that the actions of the country in Iran “violated the Charter of the United Nations and other standards of international law”, according to a Kremlin assistant.
The leaders, both allies of Iran, said that military action would not solve the problems that Western and Israeli leaders have on Iran’s nuclear program and that diplomacy was the only way to follow.
This comes after Trump has published comments on his social platform Truth earlier this week, demanding that Iran are going unconditionally and warns that the United States has the capacity to assassinate the supreme chief of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei replied by saying that any American attack on Iran would have encountered “irreparable damage” and aroused a wider war.
Open day, Israel and Iran exchanged missile dams, Israel hitting the Iranian nuclear installations in Arak and Natanz, while Iran said that it had struck a hospital in the region of the Neguev of Israel after targeting a military site.
At least 30 people were injured in the hospital strike, authorities said, with Israel Israel Katz Defense Minister, said after the attack that the head of Iran “can no longer be authorized to exist.”
