Why it matters
The Middle East has been rocked by a war launched on February 28 by the United States and Israel, which prompted Iran to counterattack and effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz. This closure caused the biggest disruption of global energy supplies in history, driving up energy prices and fueling regional instability. The peace deal attempts to reverse this crisis by restoring the crucial waterway and ending the conflict.
This agreement is seen as a major foreign-policy bet, though it is only a temporary arrangement. While the deal provides immediate economic relief and stability, it falls short of previous war objectives, such as fully dismantling Iran's nuclear program. The success of the peace hinges on the ability of the parties to navigate complex issues, including the ongoing situation in Lebanon.

- Will the parties successfully negotiate a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program within the 60-day window?
- How will the ongoing Israeli actions in Lebanon affect the follow-up negotiations?
