What pushed Trump to agree to the Iran ceasefire agreement?
When United States President Donald Trump launched airstrikes on Iran five weeks ago, he was betting on a quick, decisive win – a repeat of January’s lightning-fast strike on Venezuela by the US military that replaced the South American nation’s leadership. Analysts say that calculation backfired. Instead of collapsing, Iran used its control of the vital Strait of Hormuz to gain leverage. Nader Hashemi, associate professor of Middle East and Islamic politics at Georgetown University, tells CNA’s Asia First that Trump underestimated the resilience of the Iranian regime. He also discusses what pushed Trump to agree to the ceasefire deal, from mounting global pressure to rising economic costs at home.
