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.
