Iran ceasefire: Not an off-ramp for the US but a life-saving ejection seat

A two-week ceasefire agreement, mediated by Pakistan, has been accepted by all parties, though not fully implemented yet. Negotiations could succeed if the US and Israel send serious representatives. The war has caused massive destruction of civilian and military infrastructure, confirming the death of any international protections for non-combatants. Global supply chains have been disrupted, impacting all aspects of life and the economy.
