GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Le cessez-le-feu US-Iran survient dans un contexte de fatigue militaire américaine, de fragmentation interne iranienne et d'escalade israélienne au Liban. L'accord d'Islamabad, négocié sous l'égide du Pakistan et du Qatar, ne couvre que le volet bilatéral US-Iran — laissant les guerres par procuration (Hezbollah, Houthis) et la question du détroit d'Ormuz comme autant de mèches allumées. La véritable ligne de fracture ne sépare pas les pays en guerre des pays en paix, mais ceux qui cadrent la trêve comme une victoire et ceux qui y voient un aveu de faiblesse.
