US-Iran Ceasefire: A Fragile Pause with Uncertain Path Forward
Just read about a fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, brokered by Pakistan. It’s a temporary halt to hostilities, but missile and drone attacks were still reported across the Gulf and Israel right after it was announced. The deal sets the stage for talks in Islamabad, but both sides have tough demands-like Iran wanting sanctions lifted and control over the Strait of Hormuz, and the US pushing for limits on Iran's nuclear program and regional influence. Analysts warn it’s not yet a shift toward lasting peace, and if talks fail, hostilities could easily resume. Gulf states are cautiously welcoming it as an 'initial step.'
