Watch: The Israel-Iran war

 

President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday evening, after more than a week of missile strikes between the two countries and U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites. However, as attacks appear to have continued into Tuesday, there remains uncertainty about whether the ceasefire will hold and the conflict's broader implications.

 

Join the Brookings Foreign Policy program today at 10 a.m. ET for a discussion on the evolving situation, the war’s origins, and questions facing U.S. policymakers.
