Fighting in Iran stops for two weeks – level 1

Fighting in Iran stops for two weeks

13-04-2026 07:00

There is big news about the US and Iran. They agree to stop fighting for two weeks. This is called a ceasefire. Many people are happy because they want the war to stop. But some people are still worried.

At the same time, the leader of NATO comes to Washington to talk to President Trump. Some people believe that the US may leave NATO.

In Hungary, there is an election soon. The US Vice President is there to help the Hungarian leader, Viktor Orbán. Some people in Europe are angry about this. They think that countries should not care about other countries’ elections.

Difficult words: agree (to say yes), worried (when you are thinking about problems and things which may go wrong), election (when people choose a new leader).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Why are some Europeans upset by the US Vice President’s involvement in Hungary’s election?
