A fragile ceasefire has been announced between Israel and Iran after days of intense conflict. The ceasefire was proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to stop the missile attacks and drone launches between the two countries. However, despite the ceasefire agreement, Israeli officials have reported new missile and drone attacks from Iran, promising to respond with “powerful strikes.”
The situation remains tense as uncertainty lingers over the ceasefire’s effectiveness. Iran confirmed it still holds stocks of enriched uranium, stating, “the game is not over,” signaling the continuation of its nuclear program. Meanwhile, the U.S. claims that 400kg of Iran’s uranium stockpile is missing, raising fears about nuclear weapon development.
The conflict has impacted global oil prices, which fell back to levels seen before the Iran-Israel tensions, thanks to hopes of the ceasefire. Qatar, where a U.S. airbase was targeted in missile attacks, has described its ties with Iran as scarred but expects them to recover. The situation also caused disruptions in flights and travel advisories from companies such as IndiGo.
