Hi, I’m Arif. In the past few days, I’ve been watching the news like everyone else—and honestly, I’m worried.
On June 12–13, 2025, Israel launched airstrikes on Iran. In response, Iran sent missiles and drones back. Cities were shaking. People were scared. And now, the whole world is asking one question:
👉 Could this be the start of World War 3 or even a nuclear war?
Let’s break it down in simple language so you understand what’s happening — and what could happen next.
This fight didn’t start overnight.
Israel believes Iran is building a nuclear bomb.
Iran says it’s just making nuclear energy, not bombs.
Israel attacked places in Iran that it thinks are part of the nuclear plan.
Iran hit back with missiles, drones, and threats.
This is one of the most serious fights in years between the two countries.
It’s not just about two countries anymore.
The USA supports Israel.
Countries like Russia, China, and some Arab nations support Iran.
If one side goes too far, the other countries might join in.
Oil prices are rising. Stock markets are shaking.
That’s why people are scared this could become World War 3.
This is the scariest part.
Israel has nuclear weapons, but has never used them.
Iran says it doesn’t have nukes but wants to protect itself.
If the fight gets worse, someone might use a nuclear bomb—even if by accident.
A small mistake could cause a big disaster.
The USA and Europe are asking both sides to stop.
The United Nations is worried and trying to help with peace talks.
But both countries are angry, and neither wants to back down.
Here are three possible paths:
Both sides stop fighting and talk peacefully.
The war continues with missiles and drones, but no nuclear weapons.
One side attacks too hard, and the other responds with full war — even nuclear weapons could be used.
Even if you live far from Israel or Iran, this war affects all of us:
Oil and gas prices will go up.
Travel and flights may get more expensive.
Markets and jobs could be affected.
Most of all, we could see millions of innocent people in danger.
No one wants a world war. No one wants nuclear bombs. But the way things are going, we are closer than ever.
Let’s hope the leaders of both countries — and the world — find a way to stop this before it’s too late.
