It only took a few hours, but the long-awaited ceasefire in Iran is already on shaky ground. Last night, the United States, Israel and Iran agreed to a two-week halt in the fighting – less than 90 minutes before Donald Trump’s 8pm deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. All sides hailed the agreement as a victory, but it appears to be unravelling. Iran has now reportedly closed the vital shipping passage again – in response to Israel’s continuing attacks on Lebanon – the largest airstrikes on targets in the Lebanese capital since the conflict with Hezbollah broke out last month, according to the Israeli military. The US and Israel say halting operations there was never part of the ceasefire deal.
