Episode Description

The countries of Israel and Lebanon have reached a temporary ceasefire, potentially leading to further long-term peace between the United States and Iran. President Trump announced the agreement on social media late this morning, saying the 10-day ceasefire would begin this evening.

The developments come after Iran insisted that strikes on Lebanon must stop as part of any longer-term deal for peace with the U.S. and Israel.

In these Deep Dive, Maria Shilaos discusses the news and what it could mean as the U.S. works towards an end to the conflict with Iran. She's joined by Amos Guiora, a law professor at the University of Utah who has close ties and connections to Israel.
