What the US has been doing is a war crime called Perfidy, which the United Nations defines as "to kill, injure or capture an adversary" while "feigning of an intent to negotiate under a flag of truce or of a surrender".
The US has continuously pretended to agree to deals with Iran, while at the same time doing more attacks against Iran. The US is using the false premise of a ceasefire to try to gain a strategic advantage. It's like when children are playing a game and there's one bratty-child who always calls a "timeout" where they are losing the game.
Think back to the founding of the United States, the colonizers made tons of bogus deals and treaties with the indigenous people and then broke those treaties and genocided the indigenous populations. The US playbook is the same now as it was then.
As I have said repeatedly to my father when discussing U.S. history, if there are no consequences to misanthropic actions, then people will continue to perform those misanthropic actions.
The U.S. (the New World as a whole really, but especially the U.S.) was founded on misanthropy and violence. And no one in the history of the U.S. outside of some hundred slave owners, has ever been made to suffer consequences for that misanthropy. Therefore, it will continue, the U.S.'s entire history, outside of WWII, has been us breaking our treaties with our enemies, and cannibalizing our former allies for profit after we weaken them.
And we will continue to do so unless someone else or something internally stops us.
