The United States and Iran have agreed to stop fighting temporarily after a series of military attacks that threatened a recently signed interim peace deal.

在系列威脅到近期簽署的臨時和平協議的軍事攻擊後，美國與伊朗已同意暫時停火。

The current tension focuses on a 14-point agreement signed on June 17, which created a 60-day period to negotiate a permanent end to the conflict that began in February. A major problem is the control of the Strait of Hormuz. While the agreement states that Iran will allow commercial ships to pass safely for free for 60 days, Tehran claims it has total control over the waterway and may start charging fees. The US disagrees, asserting that the strait is an international waterway. This fragile situation led to recent violence, including Iranian attacks on commercial ships, US strikes on Iranian military sites, and Iranian drone attacks on US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.

目前的緊張局勢集中在 6 月 17 日簽署的 14 項協議，該協議創造了 60 天的期限，以協商如何永久結束 2 月開始的衝突。一個主要問題是對霍爾木茲海峽的控制權。雖然協議規定伊朗將在 60 天內允許商船免費安全通過，但德黑蘭聲稱其對該水道擁有絕對控制權，並可能開始收費。美國並不認同，堅持認為該海峽是國際水道。這種脆弱的局面導致了近期的暴力事件，包括伊朗攻擊商船、美國襲擊伊朗軍事地點，以及伊朗使用無人機攻擊美國在巴林和科威特的基地。

At the same time, the situation in Lebanon is making regional security more difficult. A three-way agreement between the US, Israel, and Lebanon requires Hezbollah to give up its weapons before Israel leaves southern Lebanon. However, Hezbollah leaders have called this deal invalid, and Iranian media have criticized it. Consequently, the US is reviewing its military presence in West Asia. Because of damage to bases in Bahrain, some officials suggest moving critical military operations further west, possibly using Israel as a center to stay safe from Iranian missiles.

與此同時，黎巴嫩的局勢使區域安全更加困難。美國、以色列與黎巴嫩之間的三方協議要求真主黨在以色列撤出黎巴嫩南部之前繳械。然而，真主黨領袖稱此協議無效，伊朗媒體也對此表示批評。因此，美國正在重新評估其在西亞的軍事部署。由於巴林的基地受損，部分官員建議將關鍵軍事行動移至更西端，可能以以色列為中心，以確保免受伊朗飛彈攻擊。

Diplomatic efforts to improve relations have been inconsistent. President Donald Trump announced that high-level meetings were scheduled for Tuesday in Doha, Qatar, following a request from Iran. However, Iranian officials denied that these meetings were planned, stating that talks will only happen if certain conditions are met. One key condition is the release of frozen Iranian money. President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that $6 billion of the $12 billion held in Qatar should be returned to Iran, but the US has not yet confirmed this transfer.

改善關係的外交努力並不一致。川普總統宣布，在收到伊朗請求後，週二將在卡達多哈舉行高層會議。然而，伊朗官員否認計劃了這些會議，並表示只有在滿足特定條件的情況下才會進行談判。其中一個關鍵條件是釋放被凍結的伊朗資金。佩澤什基安總統表示，在卡達持有的 120 億美元中，應將 60 億美元歸還給伊朗，但美國尚未確認此次轉帳。

The regional situation remains unstable. The future of the peace process depends on whether the two countries can agree on maritime control and resolve the conflict in Lebanon.

區域局勢依然不穩定。和平進程的未來取決於兩國能否在海域控制權及解決黎巴嫩衝突方面達成一致。
