Ceasefire Brings Calm to West Asia

A fragile calm has spread across parts of West Asia following a US-mediated ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, which took effect Thursday. This truce, lasting ten days, marks what President Donald Trump described as a potentially significant moment for the region. The agreement came after six weeks of intense conflict involving Hezbollah, an Iran-backed armed group. Despite the initial success with no major violations on its first day, both sides remain cautious.
