Editor's Note: A fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran has raised urgent questions about diplomacy and the US-Israel alliance. As the truce appears to be unravelling, is this the start of real de-escalation, or simply a pause before renewed confrontation? And how might this moment reshape the global order? In this edition of The Hub, Wang Guan speaks to Anton Fedyashin, associate professor at the American University, and John Gong, professor of Economics at the University of International Business and Economics, to explore what drove the sudden shift from escalation to ceasefire and examine whether upcoming talks in Islamabad can produce lasting results as Israel just launched its largest coordinated strikes on Lebanon since the war began. They discuss conflicting signals among key players and look into whether current proposals represent genuine progress or a familiar stalemate. The conversation also delves into market reactions, legal concerns, and the broader implications for US credibility.
