Trump Proposes Phased Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran, But Mutual Accusations Arise
Phased ceasefire proposals have emerged amidst military and diplomatic dilemmas for the US, Israel, and Iran. After Iran's symbolic missile strike against a US base, a conditional ceasefire was agreed upon with Israel. But is this really the beginning of peace?
The situation is escalating, with a border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. On May 28, troops from both countries exchanged fire, resulting in the death of a Cambodian soldier. This incident exposed Thai Prime Minister Prayuth to political crisis as leaked audio recordings of his conversation with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen spark public discontent.
Analysis: Dr. Liu Qifeng from Sun Yat-sen University argues that Trump's decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities was a necessary compromise, aiming to avoid deep ground troop involvement. Following the swift announcement of a ceasefire, hostilities between Israel and Iran may persist unless there is a change in the Iranian regime.
