[US Think Tank Warns: Temporary US-Iran Ceasefire "On the Verge of Collapse," Israeli Attack on Lebanon Could Cause Agreement to Deteriorate] (1) According to the Associated Press, The Soufan Center, headquartered in New York, warned that the temporary ceasefire agreement reached during the Iran-Iraq War is "on the verge of collapse." (2) In an analysis report released on Thursday, the think tank pointed out that Israel's attack on Lebanon on Wednesday could cause the agreement to collapse. Although Lebanon is not formally included in the agreement, the scale of the Israeli attack is highly likely to be seen as an escalation of the situation. (3) The report added that the Israeli strike could be interpreted as an attempt to sow discord between Iran and its proxies, or as a response to being marginalized in the initial ceasefire negotiations.
