According to the French newspaper Le Monde, Iran's elite forces have made it clear that they have no trust in Washington despite the agreement reached on a temporary cessation of hostilities. "The enemy has always been deceitful. We do not believe their promises. We will respond to any aggression with a higher-level reaction," the Guard announced on its official Telegram channel. The Revolutionary Guard represents the elite military and ideological formation in Iran, overseeing internal security as well as external operations, which includes direct support for Iranian allies across the region. Recall that U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire in the conflict that the U.S. and Israel are waging against Iran from Tuesday night into Wednesday. The American leader thus retreated from his earlier threats of devastating strikes on the Islamic Republic and agreed to a two-week conditional halt to fighting. The agreement, a key part of which is the opening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, was announced by Trump approximately 90 minutes before the expiration of his own ultimatum, all realized through strong mediation by Pakistan. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that the ceasefire applies "everywhere," including Lebanese territory. However, this claim was quickly denied by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Nevertheless, Netanyahu added that Israel supports the United States' decision to pause the conflict. At this moment, it is still not entirely clear when the ceasefire will officially take effect. Meanwhile, the global market has reacted to the de-escalation of tensions; oil prices are falling following the announcement of the ceasefire, although they remain significantly above the level they were at before the start of this conflict.
