Today is Saturday, June 28th. Today, we're explaining and analyzing America's involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.

We go over the arguments for and against the U.S. dropping bombs on Iranian nuclear sites last weekend,

and discuss whether the current ceasefire between Israel and Iran is expected to last.

We'll also talk about the impact on ordinary citizens, the potential

for a retaliatory terror attack on the U.S., and what it could mean for nuclear weapons, regime

change, and even the ongoing war in Gaza. Today, we're joined by Professor Ned Lazarus.

He's an expert in conflict resolution and Middle East peace building at George Washington University.

He's helping us understand the short and long-term implications, the political calculations,

and whether diplomacy still has a chance to help.

Ned Lazarus, thank you so much for joining us here on the Newsworthy.

Thank you, Erica.

Well, first, I would just like to get your view so far of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran

happening right now. And do you expect it will hold?

I do think that it will hold at least for a while. These agreements work when

all of the parties involved want them to. I think that Iran has absorbed a tremendous

set of blows from Israel. Their government is most likely reeling from what has been done to them.
