Mansa is joined by Ray to lay out our assessment of the Iran ceasefire. Much of the left has declared Iran the victor of the war with the U.S. and Israel, but we think that this is impressionist and disarming. The main reason? Nothing fundamental has changed in terms of the balance of overall forces in the region, and nothing has been resolved for either side. We also discuss how China continues to sit on its hands, allowing the U.S. to retain the initiative on the world stage.

• Iran War: Nothing won, nothing solved 
• Iran War: Don't underestimate U.S. imperialism 
• Can Iran defeat the U.S. and Israel? Why we're not so confident
