Iran ceasefire: Not an off-ramp for the US but a life-saving ejection seat

What Happened

A two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran has been accepted by all parties, including substantive concessions. The war caused massive destruction of civilian infrastructure and disrupted global supply chains. Negotiations will proceed using Iran's ten-point plan rather than the US-Israel fifteen-point agenda. The agreement marks the first time a Middle Eastern country has independently checked US-Israel military capabilities. Success depends on serious negotiators prioritizing genuine peace over political theater.
