💨 Abstract

The US and Iran reached a fragile ceasefire, with both claiming victory, but the agreement faces significant challenges. Iran appears to have closed the Strait of Hormuz, and key issues like nuclear enrichment and access to the Strait remain unresolved. The ceasefire's scope, particularly regarding Israeli strikes in Lebanon, is ambiguous, raising concerns about its stability. Experts warn that the ceasefire may be just a pause, with potential for renewed conflict if terms are not clarified and a political process is not established.
