Who Gains What in the US-Iran Peace Deal?
The agreement comes after months of conflict that began with US-Israel strikes on Iran on February 28. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was among the first to announce the breakthrough.
According to reports, the deal includes 14 key points. A Qatari delegation spent 17 hours in Tehran to finalise the agreement.
### What Iran Gains:
- Lifting of sanctions on oil and petrochemical exports.
- Access to frozen financial assets.
- Release of $24 billion in frozen funds.
- $300 billion in reconstruction plans.
- Ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon.
- Respect for Iranβs sovereignty.
- Removal of naval blockade.
- Withdrawal of US forces from the region.
### What the US Gains:
- Iran will not develop nuclear weapons.
- Strong monitoring mechanism and UN Security Council approval.
- 60 days of talks for a comprehensive nuclear agreement.
This deal is expected to ease global oil supply concerns by reopening the Strait of Hormuz and bring some stability to the Middle East. However, many experts believe long-term peace will depend on how strictly both sides follow the agreed conditions.
