US Iran Peace Deal: There seems to be an incredible change in the nature of the US-Iran dispute following the move towards reaching peace after months of military confrontation. While the US president has hailed the pact as his greatest win ever, some reports have come out to suggest that Iran has succeeded in winning most of their demands in the negotiations.

Did Iran set the terms?
From some of the reports revolving around the recent pact that is being signed, it is evident that Iran has succeeded in safeguarding some of its most significant interests. The agreement gives Iran the liberty to engage in limited uranium enrichment under international supervision. Sanctions on Iran are likely to end alongside a return of traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials have repeatedly claimed that their country emerged from the conflict in a stronger position and that the final framework reflects Tehran’s negotiating power. Earlier statements from Iranian leaders even described Iran as the “winner” of the war.
Analyzing Trump’s Risk
Donald Trump initially took a very firm position on Iran and insisted on very harsh restrictions on its nuclear program. However, the outcome of the talks seems to be less restrictive than the expectations of the US administration. Some commentators claim that the White House had to come to an agreement for fear of growing oil prices, economic uncertainty, and a long-lasting regional conflict.
The Importance of The Strait of Hormuz
US Iran Peace Deal: Among the main consequences of the agreement should be the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which plays a key role in international oil transportation. The water area accounts for a considerable part of all oil trade and the closure of it caused serious worries about global energy shortages. The peace treaty envisages steps to facilitate commercial traffic and reduce tensions in the region.
