Tensions in the Middle East have been eased slightly as the United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, following a series of escalating military conflicts and diplomatic crises. The temporary truce, which comes after a week of intense fighting between U.S. and Iranian forces, is seen as a fragile step towards de-escalation. However, experts warn that the situation remains volatile, with both sides still locked in a cycle of retaliation and counter-retaliation. As the international community breathes a sigh of relief, the question remains: can this brief respite from violence hold, or will old tensions and rivalries boil over once again?
