Fighting and Secret Meetings in the Middle East
Introduction
Saudi Arabia and the UAE fought with Iran. Israel and the UAE also had a secret meeting, but some people say this is not true.
Main Body
Saudi Arabia and the UAE attacked Iran with planes. They did this because Iran attacked them first. The UAE hit a factory on an island. Saudi Arabia also talked with Iran. They wanted to stop the war. Later, the US and Iran stopped fighting on April 7. Israel says their leader went to the UAE in March. They say Israel sent weapons to help the UAE. The UAE government says this is a lie. They say there was no secret meeting.
Conclusion
Gulf countries fought Iran to protect themselves. Now, the UAE and Israel disagree about a secret meeting.

🕰️ THE PAST TIME-MACHINE
To reach A2, you must change action words to talk about yesterday. Look at how the story changes words:
- Attack → Attacked
- Fight → Fought
- Stop → Stopped
- Say → Said
The Secret Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end. But some are 'rebel' words (irregular) and change completely.
Examples from the text:
- The UAE hit a factory. (Hit stays Hit!)
- They fought with Iran. (Fight becomes Fought!)
Quick Tip: If you see -ed, the action is finished. It is not happening now.
