It's thought that as long as the United States doesn't get involved, the Iran and Israel conflict should stay contained.

Tension continues to escalate between the two countries as air strikes continue to fire.

Speculation around a ceasefire is being discussed with US President Donald Trump encouraging the nations to talk before it’s too late.

Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom told Ryan Bridge Israel has been planning this war for years, and isn't willing to stop after a few days.

He says the Iranians are willing to talk about a mutual ceasefire but doesn't think Israel or the United States are at a point where they would push for that.
