As for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he thought he'd achieved his lifetime political ambition when he got a US president to join him on this mission to try and bring about regime change in Iran.
But tonight he was forced to deny that he was only told at the last minute
that President Trump was changing course, was stepping back from attacks and had secured this ceasefire deal.
However, Mr Netanyahu has also said that the finger remains on the trigger and that he will resume the war with Iran if needed.
Opposition figures in Israel saying that he's failed in all of his war aims, that all he's done really is make Iran stronger and more dangerous.
But I think the concern tonight is that if there are to be more Israeli strikes on Hezbollah positions and elsewhere in Lebanon with all the associated death and destruction, that will seriously imperil this ceasefire, which, as we know, is already a fragile deal.
Of those, it's likely that Mr. Vance, who's now on his way back from Hungary, where he's been campaigning on behalf of the country's leader there, the hardliner Viktor Orban, will take the lead.
Mr. Vance was sceptical about this conflict.
He's likely to be more trusted, I think, by the Iranian side.
Dan Messers, Witkoff and Kushner, who were both engaged in peace negotiations with Iran when it came under fire from the US and Israel in February.
The big question is whether the ceasefire will last until the weekend, given the differences that have already emerged over the geographical framework, namely whether the ceasefire applies to Lebanon.
They are portraying the campaign, the military campaign, as a triumph.
The U.S.
Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth told reporters today that Iran had begged for this ceasefire and the U.S.
had achieved what he called an historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield.
He reiterated President Trump's message that this was a big day for world peace.
Iran's view, of course, is that it is the victor and that the U.S.,
is the one that's been defeated.
And it's unclear what's been agreed upon aside from a pause in the fighting, given that Iran, of course, still has control of the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear stockpile remains in place.
So Mr. Trump faces the challenge not only of reaching a permanent peace settlement, but proving, I think, to the American people that this conflict was worth it.
