Despite a fragile ceasefire established over three weeks ago, the region remains on edge, a direct consequence of continuous foreign intervention and arms proliferation.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the diplomatic complexities, Donald Trump stated on Friday that he is engaged in telephone discussions with the Iranian side.
