Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after 12 days of intense military escalation. The truce comes as a result of intensive American mediation efforts led by Washington.
However, according to field sources, the declared truce remains fragile and incomplete, as limited Israeli airstrikes have continued to target Iranian positions described as “non-compliant with the ceasefire.” This suggests that commitment to the agreement remains partial and inconsistent.
In a revealing statement, Trump’s envoy to the Middle East said that “negotiations with Iran are promising,” adding that active backchannel communications are ongoing to defuse tensions, despite the tenuous ground situation.
This development comes amid growing regional and international concerns about the possibility of the truce collapsing and the conflict expanding to new fronts, especially given signs of military redeployments by both parties in strategic locations across the region.
Analysts emphasize that the success of the ceasefire hinges on strong U.S. guarantees and mutual concessions on the Iranian nuclear program, as well as on influence zones in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon.
