Speaking to Australian Associated Press, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an expert on Middle Eastern politics who spent more than two years in an Iranian prison, said the pause in fighting would probably be temporary because of unaddressed sticking points.

The agreement failed to deal with Tehran’s ambitions to build nuclear weapons, its use of proxies in the region, its missile program and human rights abuses, she said.

The third of seven fights has come and gone. Maurício Ruffy dismantled veteran Michael Chandler with a dominant performance that ended in a brutal TKO at the 4:29 mark of round one. The touted Brazilian largely neutralized Chandler from the outset, repeatedly hurting the former Bellator champion before closing the show with a finish that left little doubt about the gulf between the two men. The result sparked fresh questions about Chandler’s future at age 40, while reinforcing Ruffy’s growing reputation as one of the lightweight division’s most dangerous rising contenders.
