Israel-Iran war: Will the ceasefire hold? | Watch

The 12-day Israel-Iran war, backed by U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear sites, ended with a ceasefire—but without decisive victory. President Trump declared Iran’s facilities “obliterated,” yet U.S. and European intelligence suggested only a temporary setback. Iran had likely dispersed its enriched uranium, and experts say it could resume enrichment within months. For Israel, the war exposed its overdependence on the U.S. and its inability to dismantle Iran’s nuclear programme or provoke regime change.

While Washington wants to stop a nuclear Iran, it avoids deep military entanglement in West Asia, especially under domestic pressure. For Iran, the attack echoed historical betrayals like the 1953 coup, strengthening its resolve. Many now argue that only nuclear deterrence—like North Korea’s—can shield Iran from foreign aggression. As Iran rebuilds its arsenal and Israel stays on high alert, the ceasefire is only a pause. The deeper conflict and its dangers remain unresolved.
