It seems like whenever I do hear about one, it's pretty routinely violated(usually by a particular side like Israel but still). It feels weird to agree to one if there's no intent to follow through.

Edit: Israel is a pretty clear example; which is that they're conducting a genocide, but I've noticed this in Ukraine/Russia as well

You cease, I fire biden-rember

At least for Iran, the MOU/Ceasefire didn't change any of the previous positions on the ground, the Strait of Hormuz is still firmly under Iranian control. The most recent ceasefires in the Russian SMO were for the Victory Day parades. I don't see how a ceasefire really changes anything.
