After a hundred days of war, the United States and Iran have stepped back from the edge, signing a framework agreement that reopens the Strait of Hormuz and gestures toward a future neither side has yet fully defined.

Dramatic shift toward U.S.-Iran rapprochement under Trump administration, reducing regional proxy conflicts. Iran gains economic rehabilitation and sanctions relief; U.S. gains nuclear assurances and strategic stability. Potential realignment away from Israel-Saudi axis toward broader Gulf accommodation. Global oil markets stabilize with Strait reopening.
Similar to 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal but with broader geopolitical scope; reverses Trump's 2018 withdrawal from Iran nuclear agreement, echoing Nixon's 1971 China opening in strategic recalibration.

Other nations may seek similar diplomatic resolutions in regional conflicts.
