US-Israel-Iran Ceasefire Tested

While the truce has brought a pause in direct U.S.-Iran hostilities, the regional proxy war shows no signs of abating.

Iran has threatened to boycott peace talks in Pakistan if Israeli attacks on Hezbollah do not stop.

The White House is under pressure to clarify the scope of the agreement and whether it includes a halt to all regional combat.

Analysts warn that the misalignment between what each side seeks from the deal could lead to a rapid collapse of the temporary peace.
