A swift end to hostilities could further strengthen Trump's position as President, repairing his foreign policy previously plagued by failures such as the stalled efforts to establish peace in Ukraine.

Iran's Valor Eclipses Trump's Boastfulness
The rocket strikes on American bases following Trump's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan have underscored the President's brashness and misguided foreign policy. Trump envisioned himself as a modern-day Truman, but Iran's heroism debunked his illusions.
**Donald Trump's Proclaimed Ceasefire between Israel and Iran Leaves the World Guessing. In a surprising turn of events, Trump announced on Monday evening that the two nations had agreed to a truce, potentially marking an end to a heated 12-day conflict. Yet, questions remain about the ceasefire's longevity, and the risk of renewed conflict persists.
American authorities stress that Trump follows through on his threats, unlike some previous Presidents. Yet, Iran's retaliation against American threats teeters on the edge of provoking a fresh wave of violence, including potential American casualties and significant infrastructure losses. In such a scenario, the pressure on Trump to respond forcefully would escalate. As of now, however, he seems to be considering a diplomatic path out of the violence, with both Israel and Iran seemingly supportive of this approach.**

A Rocket Attack Heralding Peace?
Once again, Europe finds itself dealing with a shifting Middle East landscape. Iran's missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, the Middle East's largest American military facility, seemed to herald further conflict...
However, the attack proved to be more of a warning than a declaration of war, as neither the U.S. nor Iranian infrastructures were seriously harmed. Iran's calculated response has reinforced the impression that it is not interested in inflaming tensions further. And indeed, the President seems to welcome the peace opportunity, now faced with the task of making the peace plan a reality. The world watches and hopes for a brighter future.

The international media expressed concerns about the fragile and potentially temporary nature of the ceasefire, as neither Israel nor Iran publicly endorsed the agreement and allegations of violations emerged shortly after the ceasefire was announced.
CBS News reports that while President Trump heralded a "Complete and Total CEASEFIRE" after 12 days of intense conflict, the situation remains delicate, with immediate violations and ambiguity about the ceasefire's enforceability and sustainability. ABC News highlights that the lack of direct communication between the parties involved fuels doubts about the ceasefire's legitimacy as a normalized peace agreement.
Both sources underline the tense circumstances leading up to the ceasefire, as the conflict involved significant military actions, such as Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear targets and Iranian missile attacks on a U.S. base. The ongoing mistrust, immediate accusations of breaches, and the absence of direct communication from the involved parties suggest that the ceasefire's long-term maintenance is an uncertain prospect.
