Not necessarily. It’s not like Iran is just going to twiddle their thumbs during the ceasefire. There’s really not much the US can do to change the overall situation in a couple of weeks. Their bases in the region are still destroyed, their interceptors can’t be replenished. Their navy is still in the region and still starving.
The ceasefire makes Iran look very reasonable to their partners and the rest of the world. They’re showing that they’re the sane party here, and when the US or Israel inevitably starts violating the ceasefire, Iran will be able to point to that. It’s important to keep in mind that there are both the kinetic and political dimensions to the war.
Seems like Iran just needs to wait 🤔
I can’t comprehend why they agreed to a cease fire. Has to have been a nuke threat.
