Why Trump Must Now Negotiate With Iran
Briefly

Following Iran's attack on a U.S. base in Qatar, President Trump announced a ceasefire, temporarily halting hostilities between Iran and Israel. While Israel achieved significant military victories, including assassinations of key Iranian leaders and damage to nuclear facilities, Tehran remains defiantly engaged in the conflict. The current ceasefire is fragile and hinges on Iran's nuclear program, with both sides preparing for potential future confrontations. Israel warns of further strikes if Iran resumes its nuclear efforts, indicating the cycle of violence might resume unless a comprehensive nuclear deal is established.
"This tenuous pause in fighting does not lay the foundations of peace. Israel has already said it will strike Iran again if it resumes its nuclear efforts."
"The U.S. leader's declaration and subsequent lashing out against ceasefire violations might have ended the recent war between the regional rivals but..."
"On the other side, although bruised and bloodied, Iran could insist on being unbowed, holding its own with enough missiles to compel ceasefire."
"Unless there is a new comprehensive nuclear deal between Iran and the United States, Tehran is likely to seek to reassemble its nuclear program."
