Leavitt Flails as Trump’s Deal Appears to Fall Apart

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has struggled to explain the tenuous ceasefire deal Donald Trump agreed to amid reports that parts of the agreement had already been breached.

Less than a day after both sides decided to pause the war for two weeks in order to begin negotiations, uncertainty emerged over the status of the economically vital Strait of Hormuz and Israel’s ongoing attacks against Lebanon, home of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
