Two weeks in and the Iran ceasefire is fraying at every seam. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf listed three violations he says have already occurred: continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, a drone entering Iranian airspace, and what Tehran frames as a denial of its right to enrich uranium. None of these are minor complaints — each one is a potential pretext for Tehran to walk away.

The White House’s position isn’t helping. JD Vance, speaking from Hungary, acknowledged the ceasefire is “messy” but held firm that Iran cannot enrich uranium and that Lebanon was never included in the agreement. Iran says the opposite. That is not a gap — that is a chasm.

Two weeks. That’s the window Trump got with Iran — and it’s already leaking.

The deal, announced Tuesday, paused US-Iran hostilities and was supposed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Markets popped. Oil dropped. Everyone exhaled.

Then Israel kept bombing Lebanon. Iran said the ceasefire covered Lebanon. The White House said it didn’t. Tehran’s parliamentary speaker Ghalibaf posted that “time is running out” and warned of “strong responses” to violations. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia intercepted nine drones and the UAE shot down 17 ballistic missiles and 35 drones — all within hours of the ceasefire announcement.

A last-minute ceasefire between the United States and Iran landed just before Trump’s ultimatum deadline expired. The deal pauses a conflict that had been grinding through its sixth week, with U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure and Iran striking back at regional targets.

The terms: Iran agreed to discuss opening the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. agreed to suspend offensive operations for two weeks. Trump called it a win. Iran’s government called it a pause. Israel said it wasn’t bound by any of it and kept striking Hezbollah positions in Lebanon anyway.
