Summary:
  • Vice President JD Vance warned the ceasefire is fragile, saying Iran has been "lying" about what's been agreed.
  • Iran fired missiles and drones at Gulf nations on Wednesday - even after the truce was announced.
  • Iran's parliament said the U.S. had already broken the deal, raising questions about Friday's summit in Pakistan.

The ink wasn't even dry before the cracks started showing.

VP JD Vance called the Iran deal a "weak truce" on Wednesday. He said it hours after the deal was made. Vance said Iran's top diplomat was fine with it. But others in Tehran had been "lying" about what was agreed.

Missiles Didn't Stop

Even with a deal in place, missiles and drones flew across the Gulf. The UAE shot down missiles from Iran. Kuwait said it stopped 28 drones. Bahrain downed 31 drones and six missiles.

Israel said Iran fired missiles its way. Saudi Arabia put out alerts. Qatar did too.

Iran Says the U.S. Broke the Deal First

Iran's top lawmaker said the U.S. broke the deal first. He pointed to Israeli strikes in Lebanon and a drone that entered Iran's airspace.

A post tied to him said Friday's summit might be off. The talks are set for Pakistan.

What to Watch

The two sides are still far apart. The U.S. wants Iran to stop all nuclear work. Iran says it has a right to do it. Neither has budged.

Markets loved the ceasefire news. The follow-through looks shaky.
