With it, live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Linda Kenyon.
Tensions remain high between the U.S.
And Iran, even after the U.S.
Said it ended its attacks for the first time in two weeks.
But as NPR's Emily Fang reports, countries in the Middle East are still preparing for an escalation in the war.
Trump said this week he'd gotten reports Iran moved uranium refining centrifuges
deep under a huge mountain called Pickaxe Mountain and said the U.S.
Was likely to strike the mountain, quote, very heavily.
In Iran, hardliners have been pushing for increased military action against the U.S.
And its allies, while rhetoric from senior leaders calling for negotiation has been dampened.
This week, the United Kingdom, Germany,
and France withdrew their diplomats from Tehran as a precaution in case the war with Iran kicks up a notch.
And across Israel, municipalities reopened public shelters,
citing an increased risk of bombing from Iran in the coming days.
