A Ceasefire with Iran

A Ceasefire with Iran

Tuesday, the U.S., and Iran reached an agreement on a temporary two-week ceasefire. Part of the agreement is that the Strait of Hormuz would be open to waterway traffic while the two countries continue negotiations. In the wake of the fragile ceasefire, only hours later, Israel conducted its largest coordinated attack on Lebanon killing and wounding hundreds, according to Lebanon's health ministry. Since that Israeli attack, the semiofficial Iranian news agency is reporting Iran stopped oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz as a result. The White House says what Iran is saying publicly is not what they committed to privately with keeping the crucial waterway open. The White House claims they have seen an uptick in traffic in the strait today and that it remains open...Will the ceasefire hold? Boston College political science professor Ali Banuazizi, who studies and teaches Iran’s social history and contemporary domestic politics, and foreign relations, grew up in Iran and understands the culture and mindsets of the Iranian people. Prof. Banuazizi checked in with Dan about whether he's optimistic that this fragile ceasefire will hold and his insight into this war from someone who understands the Iranian people as well as the American perspective having lived in the United States since the 1970s
