Iran gains leverage from US internal divisions. Regional allies (Gulf states, Israel) concerned about deal transparency and verification mechanisms. EU positioning to potentially re-engage if deal stabilizes.
Mirrors JCPOA (2015) dynamics: incomplete initial framework, congressional opposition, verification concerns, and regional ally skepticism. However, differs in that Trump previously withdrew from JCPOA, creating credibility questions about enforcement commitment.
