US-Iran deal reshapes Mideast power balance
The agreement ends direct hostilities but keeps Iranβs proxy networks intact, leaving Hezbollah in Lebanon militarily unchecked. Israel gains a northern ceasefire but faces a more unpredictable buffer zone along its border.
This deal effectively freezes the current territorial and military status quo, failing to dismantle Iranβs regional infrastructure. For global markets and diplomacy, it signals a US pivot away from military solutions toward containment, raising risks of renewed escalation in Syria and Yemen.
The next flashpoint will be whether Iran reclaims its nuclear enrichment rights under the deal or delays compliance.
