A two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran was reached last week, though key details remain unclear and Iran's 10-point proposal—which Trump acknowledged as a basis for negotiations—includes demands that were recently considered unacceptable to the U.S.
Experts say the agreement relieves pressure on Trump, who faces domestic opposition to the war, but warn that deep mistrust between the parties and unresolved issues, including Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz and Israel's unclear role, leave the durability of the ceasefire uncertain.
Osamah Khalil, professor of history, predicts that “if an agreement is reached based on the Iranian proposal, especially the lifting of sanctions and guarantees against future attacks, Tehran will emerge from this war battered but victorious, just the opposite of what Trump and Netanyahu claimed would happen.”
