US-Iran ceasefire crumbles amid ongoing strikes

The fragile 60-day ceasefire between the US and Iran continues to deteriorate as both nations exchange military strikes and accuse each other of violating their peace agreement. President Trump has threatened further military action and warned that Iran could cease to exist if strikes persist, while Iran has demonstrated its leverage by threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. International affairs expert Charles Kopchen analyses the situation as strategic posturing ahead of negotiations rather than a return to full-scale war, though he suggests a durable peace deal may take months or extend beyond the Trump presidency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
