Manage episode 490549689 series 2467889
Tensions in the Middle East have reached a boiling point. Then, just as suddenly, a pause.
US President Donald Trump says a ceasefire between Israel and Iran is now "in effect" after a night of deadly crossfire.
But on the ground, clarity is hard to come by.
Conflicting reports, fresh accusations, and renewed threats are casting doubt on whether the ceasefire is holding - or ever truly began.
So what’s really happening behind the headlines? And how fragile is this latest truce?
On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Richard Jackson, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Otago, for more insights beyond the headlines.
