Why it matters
The potential for a lasting peace hinges on whether Iran accepts the terms and if the international community can uphold the commitments made. The successful implementation of the deal could lead to significant economic shifts, including the potential for Iran to become a major oil supplier to India again.
However, the deal faces intense scrutiny from critics in Congress and international bodies. The viability of the peace relies on the willingness of all parties to adhere to the terms, including the potential for the U.S. to withdraw from future agreements, as happened with the JCPOA.
