Trump’s ceasefire is cracking

Prof. Kobi Michael: Israel could continue strikes on Iran without US involvement, although it would hope for Trump to re-enter the war.

Analysis from the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC suggests that even if a ceasefire holds, Israel and Iran “will remain locked in a persistent, lower-level conflict rather than transition to a stable peace”, a state that has endured for much of the “shadow war” between the countries over the past 40 years.
