Why the Iran-US ceasefire is falling apart | The Bottom Line

Neither Iran nor the United States seems able to deliver a “knockout blow at an acceptable price” to the other side, and both know “they have no choice other than engaging in diplomacy”, but they’re not ready to make uncomfortable concessions, argues Ali Vaez, director of the Iran Project at International Crisis Group. Vaez tells host Steve Clemons that Tehran and Washington are trying to “enforce their own interpretation” of the ceasefire agreement they signed last month. President Trump has become “frustrated” with diplomacy because he’s not seeing “the kind of quick results that he likes to see”, Vaez says. #iran #unitedstates #iranwar #ceasefire #aljazeera #aljazeeraenglish

American University Foreign Policy Senior Lecturer Dr Garret Martin discusses the US military’s recent strikes on Iran in response to Tehran’s attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. “I think it’s a reminder to the Iranians that the United States still has significant military capacities and there’s always that risk that if the negotiations break down after 60 days, they might resort to force,” he told Sky News Australia. “In the same manner that what Iran did yesterday was a reminder of the ... leverage that they have with their control of the Strait of Hormuz.”
