The exact terms of the US-Iran deal remain unclear. Statements from the Trump administration and Iranian authorities contradict each other. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is critical for the global oil market, but no clear agreement has been reached yet. Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon also remains a complex issue. Guarantees regarding Iran's nuclear programme have not been specified.
According to Julian Borger, there are doubts about whether the deal will hold. For stability in the Middle East, this agreement is significant, but its implementation depends on resolving these complex issues.
