The conflict is far from over, this ceasefire is unsustainable as neither side wants to agree to the demands of the other.

A ceasefire mostly benefits the US, since it can bring in more military assets across the globe. Ships and troops are still weeks away from arriving & being able to participate in combat operations.

A negotiated settlement is preferable to total destruction of the Iranian economy, and large destruction in the middle east, by all parties involved.

I expect the conflict to resume after two weeks, or later this year, after midterms.
