The ceasefire deal between the US and Iran comes after a month of destructive attacks, exposing the fragility of political negotiations.Washington TodayFormer President Donald Trump told AFP that the United States had achieved a 'total and complete victory' after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran. Trump claimed China had persuaded Iran to negotiate, and said Tehran's enriched uranium would be 'perfectly taken care of' as part of the agreement.
Why it matters
The ceasefire deal came after more than a month of destructive attacks between the US and Israel against Iran, raising concerns about a potential wider conflict in the region. Trump's claims of victory are disputed, as details of the agreement remain unclear and both sides have portrayed it as a win for their side.
The details
According to Trump, the US and Iran agreed to a 15-point ceasefire deal, with most of the terms already settled. However, the fate of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain unclear. Trump would not say whether he would return to his original threats to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure if the deal fell apart.
- The ceasefire deal was reached barely an hour before Trump's deadline to potentially obliterate Iran.
- Trump is scheduled to travel to Beijing in mid-May to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
