- An ex-Nato commander characterized the ceasefire as the greatest strategic disaster for the US since the Vietnam War, according to India Today World.
- Crisis Group also highlights ongoing ceasefire discussions, specifically in Sudan, indicating broader global challenges in conflict resolution.
A 14-day ceasefire between the US and Iran, agreed upon Iran's terms, marks a dramatic shift after President Trump's earlier threats, highlighting a significant strategic blunder for the US.
