Trump backs down on Iran again as Hormuz set to reopen after ceasefire deal

About this episode

After threatening to destroy Iran's civilisation, Trump backed down again as Iran and the US reached a temporary ceasefire deal that will see the Strait of Hormuz reopen—at least provisionally. Our correspondents Jane Witherspoon, Omid Lahabi and Stefan Grobe analyse the deal and break down the first reactions from Europe and the Middle East. And as the Hungarian elections approach this Sunday, our Sándor Zsíros reports on US Vice-President JD Vance’s visit to Budapest, where he is endorsing current Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Also on this episode of Europe Today: Member of the European Parliament Marc Botenga (The Left group) joins to react to both the US–Iran ceasefire deal and the vote in Hungary, and our Jakub Janas explains whether Trump can pull the US out of NATO, as he has threatened.
