Janice Stein: Is Trump's proposed Iran ceasefire fake?

Janice Gross Stein, founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, discusses President Trump's abrupt shift from threatening Iranian infrastructure to announcing a potential ceasefire. They examine whether this shift represents genuine diplomacy or tactical maneuvering, the credibility of various negotiating parties, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' actual power in Iran. Stein argues that Trump's impulsive, tweet-driven approach has been shambolic, while Iran's missile capabilities pose lasting threats to regional stability and global perceptions of U.S. credibility on the world stage.
