Trump announces two-week ceasefire: Fragile truce or hope for lasting peace in West Asia?

This episode of 5 Live analyses the sudden two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Brokered 90 minutes before a strike deadline, the truce follows 'Operation Epic Fury', a 38-day military campaign. While Donald Trump described the pause as a step toward a 15-point peace deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran called the move a forced Washington climbdown.  Hours after the announcement, Bahrain sounded missile sirens, underscoring how volatile the ground situation remains. The ceasefire may have been declared, but tensions across the Gulf are far from over. So, will this ceasefire actually last? What are the possibilities? Why did Trump blink after announcing a whole civilisation would be wiped out? Watch as experts discuss these and more on the show.
