When a war stops, families finally breathe. But that peace is now at risk of falling apart.

WHAT HAPPENED

Iran says the U.S. broke the April 8 ceasefire on Tuesday. They point to new American military strikes as proof.

The U.S. says these strikes were only to protect their own people. This fight could start a new cycle of attacks on U.S. bases.

President Trump is meeting with his top team at Camp David this week. They need to figure out how to stop the tension from growing.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS

The ceasefire began on April 8.

• New strikes took place on Tuesday.
• U.S. bases in the region face new threats.
• A final peace plan is "a few days" away.
• The U.S. calls the strikes "defensive."

THE BIGGER QUESTION

Why is it so hard to stop a fight once it starts? Even with a deal on paper, one side's "defense" looks like an "attack" to the other.

We have to wonder if both sides actually want the same kind of peace. If they can't agree on what "defense" means, the deal might never work.

THE OTHER SIDE

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a real peace deal is still close. He claims the U.S. is only acting to keep its soldiers safe.

This argument depends on whether the strikes were a reaction to a threat or a new move.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

If the deal breaks, more soldiers and civilians will be in danger. The next few days will show if the region goes back to war.

Regular people in the region are waiting to see if they can stay safe. A meeting at Camp David this week will decide the next steps.

WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW

1. Where exactly did the new strikes hit?
2. Did anyone get hurt in these latest moves?
3. What specific part of the April 8 deal was broken?
