Iran presented a new nuclear and peace proposal and deepened cooperation with Russia, while President Donald Trump warned of possible further attacks, raising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, Al Jazeera reported.

S. officials were considering options for the conflict.

    It’s easy to get caught up in the political back-and-forth, but I keep thinking about the people in Iran and the region who’ll bear the brunt no matter what deal or action comes next. Who’s really absorbing the shock when leaders make these moves?
