Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement; Will it hold?

We start with a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump shared on his social media platform about a ceasefire between Israel and Iran to halt their military confrontation. Our Park Kun-woo has the latest. "The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!" Donald Trump's remarks on Tuesday, once again reiterating that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been made. That comes after his initial announcement on Monday, stating that the ceasefire would begin after Israel and Iran wind down their final missions, bringing an end to the war. Trump said both sides would remain peaceful and respectful throughout the process, and congratulated them for having the "stamina, courage, and intelligence" to bring the conflict to a close. He also expressed hope that the ceasefire will be a lasting one. On Tuesday, Israeli news outlets also reported that the ceasefire had begun. That's the same with Iranian state media reporting the start of the ceasefire after Iran launched missiles on Israel that killed at least four people even after 4 AM local time, the deadline it had set to stop attacks. While these developments point to progress, the situation continues to raise questions about whether the ceasefire will hold. One expert says that although Trump's announcement may appear one-sided, it likely came after prior coordination with both sides. "Trump may appear to have unilaterally declared a ceasefire, but he likely urged both Iran and Israel to end the war swiftly. So far, the ceasefire seems to be holding, but whether it lasts depends on how well both countries observe it." The fate of the ceasefire and the conflict between Israel and Iran is now expected to depend on further official responses from the parties involved. Park Kun-woo, Arirang News.
