BlockBeats News, May 13th. The Middle East is once again facing the anticipation of renewed conflict, with Trump considering resuming military action against Iran. Meanwhile, Iran has offered the U.S. a "ticket" for nuclear talks, including unfreezing assets and recognizing sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. However, the two sides' demands remain unbridgeable. Here is an overview of the US-Iran conflict:
