Back from the brink: The Iran ceasefire
from The Global Story · host BBC World Service
Iran and the US have agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire. Donald Trump says the US has “met and exceeded all military objectives”, while Iran says the ceasefire is a “humiliating retreat” for Washington. So what has actually been agreed, and is this ceasefire likely to pave the way for an ending to the war? We speak to Jane Corbin from the BBC’s Panorama, who has reported from the world's major conflict zones for three decades.Producers: Cat Farnsworth, Sam Chantarasak and Aron KellerExecutive producer: James ShieldStudio manager: Mike RegaardSenior news editor: China CollinsPhoto:Iranians wave the country's flag following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire.
