Global markets reacted with relief after the United States and Iran announced a new agreement. Oil prices fell, shipping insurers lowered their rates, and politicians praised the move as a diplomatic success.
The deal, a memorandum of understanding, has been approved by both sides. They are expected to formally sign it in Switzerland.
However, analysts warn that the agreement is more of a pause than a lasting peace. The text of the deal has not been released, and key differences between the two nations remain unresolved. While the immediate crisis has eased, experts say the underlying tensions could resurface quickly.
