A fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran is holding, raising cautious optimism for a lasting peace agreement despite Iran's refusal to abandon its nuclear program. While the U.S. President claims the Iranian nuclear program is significantly set back, Iran insists it will continue and has suspended cooperation with the IAEA. Despite conflicting reports on the damage to Iranian nuclear facilities, the IAEA seeks to resume inspections. Amidst hopes for a comprehensive peace agreement, Iran executed three more prisoners on spying charges, raising human rights concerns. Casualties from the 12-day war are still being assessed, with varying figures reported by different sources.
