The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran held on Wednesday, sparking cautious optimism that it could lead to a lasting peace, even as Iran remains adamant about continuing its nuclear program.
The ceasefire, initiated Tuesday after 12 days of conflict, saw initial accusations of violations from both sides until fighting subsided. U.S. President Trump, at a NATO summit, expressed satisfaction with the progress but reiterated that Iran's bomb ambitions were thwarted. However, Iran's parliament moved to halt cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, complicating future negotiations.
Iran faces internal and external pressures, grappling with accusations of espionage. Meanwhile, international stakeholders advocate for diplomacy, hoping the ceasefire can evolve into lasting peace amid ongoing political maneuvers and military aftermath.
