The temporary ceasefire agreement reached between the U.S. and Iran is meant to end the war, reopen vital shipping lanes in the Gulf, and address Iran’s nuclear ambitions – at a later time. It includes big economic incentives for Tehran and comes up short on President Donald Trump’s stated goals for starting the war in the first place. Also: today’s stories, including our columnist’s thoughts on how President Trump and President Putin are handling their respective wars; how one woman in Missouri is preserving Black history along Route 66; and an essay from our staff photographer on how persistence, humanity, and instant connection create lasting joy during a recent trip to Côte d’Ivoire. Join the Monitor's Linda Feldmann for today's news.
