[Former US Official Warns: Israel's Poor Record Requires Prevention of Crushing the US-Iran Ceasefire] According to Pakistani sources, a two-week temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran took effect at 8:00 AM Beijing time on April 8. Former director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, stated on the evening of April 7 local time that the temporary ceasefire is good news, but the US must restrain Israel to prevent it from violating the ceasefire. Kent stated that Israel's strategic goal is to overthrow the Iranian government, which contradicts the US's goal of seeking lasting peace. He argued that verbal promises of a ceasefire from Israel should not be taken lightly, as Israel has a poor record of adhering to agreements. Kent also stated that the US should significantly reduce its military support for Israel to force Israel to halt its offensive against Iran. (CCTV)
