Recent United States military strikes against Iran-backed militias in the Middle East have raised significant questions about the future of regional peace initiatives and diplomatic engagement with Tehran. The retaliatory strikes, launched in response to attacks on American personnel, threaten to complicate ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and revive diplomatic agreements, including the Iran nuclear deal. Analysts warn that the escalating cycle of violence could undermine regional stability and stall negotiations, while both Washington and Tehran attempt to balance military deterrence with the desire to avoid a wider regional conflict.
- The United States conducted targeted airstrikes against facilities used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated militia groups in Iraq and Syria.
- The military action was taken in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three American service members at a military outpost in Jordan.
- The escalation complicates long-standing diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region and revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
- International mediators continue to call for restraint, warning that prolonged military exchanges could trigger a broader regional conflict.
- Both Washington and Tehran have indicated they wish to avoid a direct military confrontation, despite the increase in proxy hostilities.

47 is not unpredictable. Most of what he says is exaggerated or plainly lies. Everything he does is to benefit personally or is dictated by the stock market.
Saudi and UAE must be made to pay heavily for this.
There is no peace deal. There was only ever a temporary ceasefire.
Now that Iran violated the ceasefire by shooting down an American drone and targeting an American manned aircraft, the USA retaliated in a justified manner.
Iran will either comply with USA’s demands and scrap their nuclear program, hand over weapons-grade enriched uranium, and re-open the Strait of Hormuz, or they will be sent back to the stone age.
We have seen this before… The GATT compromise (Gentlemen's agreement to talk and talk)
War may continue till the end of presidential term.
Inés… she’s certainly unbiased. She sooo trustworthy. If Trump made a good decision she would be the first to point it out. Keep up the superb journalism Inez. You are fully trusted.
Did you actually say "peace agreement within reach?" That's delusional but hilarious!
No body can have the cake and eat it too!!!
The only thing predictable is Trump lies all the time.
So USA broke the treaty so this is why Iran can't trust USA
I think US senate are weak, inclusive of those criticizing the war
Why would Iran lay mines when the strait is already under its control with existing mines and fast boats?
Once Iran has the mines laid, then they have a permanent stranglehold on the world. PERMANENT.
there never was a cease fire to begin with so what is a cease fire by media standards? Its confusing and just making people angry. And a deal? are you guys paying attention to the demands? are you even journalist and reading what people are saying? there will be no deal.
I thought he was going to say Iranians have suffered under these repressive and brutal sanctions.
Gas price is raising in America because of Israel 😂😂😂
No deal. Grandpa talks to himself
Something NO ONE is considering is Trump's selfish, greedy, egotistical, narcissistic nature. Trump simply may not care about mid-terms. He can't be re-elected and will not need the Republican party anymore. Do you really think Trump cares about ANY future elections? The only thing he might be worried about is losing power in Congress and potentially being impeached. Trump is all about Trump and nothing else.
There are only airstrikes. No war. Let it prolong. See stamina.
When Putin hit on military objects in Ukraine everybody in shock but if Trump do same everyone happy 😢
A deal to hit each other 😂
Iranian here. Our regime has learned that it can commit a massacre within Irans borders, it can attack all of its neighboring countries, and it can close the straight of hormuz anytime it wants and also it should make its nuclear program more rapid! Now the world expects Donald Trump to deal with this monster?!! This is the regime that caused instability in the entire region, in Gaza, Iraq, Syria, Lebonan, Yemen! It is killing it’s own civilians without hesitation! You wanna make deal with this terrorists regime?! This also will help Russia, China, North Korea, and all terrorists groups around the globe as Iran is their strong ally! People who have actually lived in Middle east know exactly what is going on and how important it is to finish this regime for the sake of humanity and global peace! If you make a deal you will see lots of terrorist attacks in west organized by Iran to seek revenge of killing the leader! Just wait and see! If a deal is made, a tragedy will happen.
I really wonder what israel has on Trump
Letting you know one thing:
Iran has a complex network of political bureaucrats and institutions. Some are intertwined, and others are separated.
Trump is trying to negotiate with the parliamentary Iranian government, while trying to restrain the IRGC, which has complete free rein from the other governance structures in Iran. The IRGC works independently of the parliamentary government.
Trump is negotiating with the Iranian government while putting a leash on the IRGC.
Trump should have known better before starting this war to leverage oil prices for his market game and personal profit – an insider trading strategy to raise his portfolio.
Where were these Iranian 'mine-laying' boats? In Iranian waters. I've never heard that putting mines on one's own territory would break any ceasefire. This is ludicrous.
Agree with professor’s prediction. All self centric detractor regimes and communist regimes don’t hesitate to hunger and kill their people as long as they can remain in power.
This is to show that the US are no interested to deal because he listens to his girl friend in Israel. Just stop discuss with the US and jack the cost of Oil to US$500/Barrel.
"Firing is a cease fire."
Trump's 1984 logic.
Geez! This Thomas Juneau is a total know-nothing windbag. An expert professor!? Then why doesn't ke know one damned thing about the situation. Please don't have him on ever again.
