Tensions flared between Israel and Iran as US President Donald Trump announced an imminent ceasefire only for hostilities to continue into Tuesday. The ceasefire came on the heels of Iran's missile attack on a US base in Qatar, spurred by American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. However, the ceasefire status remained ambiguous as missile warnings sounded across Jerusalem.
Despite Trump's declaration that the ceasefire was set to bring an 'Official END' to the '12 Day War,' it was met with skepticism. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated there was no agreement, asserting the pause in missile exchanges was conditional on Israeli restraint.
The conflict, with historical overtones tied to the 1967 Mideast war, might impact regional dynamics. The US intervened diplomatically, with officials Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff engaging directly with Iran. The crisis reveals the volatility of Middle Eastern geopolitics, underscoring major powers' roles in influencing outcomes.
