Lebanon tests the Iran-US ceasefire pact as Israel presses on

A U.S.-Iran MoU vows a permanent end to hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, but Israel continues bombing Lebanon and Hezbollah-linked tensions loom large.

Iran-US Deal Sparks Divergent Interpretations on Hormuz and Lebanon

Yet full recovery will take weeks to months as shipping confidence grows, Gulf wells and infrastructure restart, and global distribution networks come back online. Analysts say it could take four months to reach about 80% of pre-conflict flows and until 2027 for full flows, while demand has already softened and prices are unlikely to return to prewar levels quickly even if the deal holds.

Five Key Hurdles in a Potential Iran-U.S. Peace Deal

The United States and Iran appear closer to a peace agreement to end the Middle East war, but five core issues loom: Iran’s nuclear stockpile and future enrichment; whether and how the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened and the blockade lifted; potential unfrozen Iranian assets and their scope; Iran-backed proxies in the region (notably Hezbollah); and Iran’s missile arsenal and its future, with each side signaling differing terms and no final agreement yet.
