Israel could still be a 'potential spoiler' in US-Iran peace deal, says analyst

The United States and Iran reached a framework agreement on Sunday (Jun 14) aimed at ending months of conflict, with a formal signing ceremony expected in Switzerland on Friday. Speaking to CNA's Asia First, Barbara Slavin, distinguished fellow for the Middle East and North Africa at the Stimson Center, warns that Israel could be a "potential spoiler", citing Israeli strikes in Lebanon that could provoke Iranian retaliation and jeopardise the deal. She adds that key issues surrounding Iran's nuclear programme remain unresolved, while shipping companies are likely to remain cautious about the Strait of Hormuz until the ceasefire proves durable.
