It seems to me when an adversary like the Taliban declares a cease-fire, it means they are on the ropes, and it's time to finish them off. Giving them a holiday for R&R invites Tet Offensive II—Muzzie Style.

It could be another effect of the collapse of Iran’s support.

Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan (maybe Lebanon) - Iranian-backed troublemakers have been falling apart.

The day after President Trump pulled out of the Iran deal, a bunch of IRGC accounts were seized/frozen/closed, and a bunch of their arms stockpiles started exploding.

They have been supporting the Taliban for years.
