Trump reasserts US negotiating leverage by reopening critical waterway; Iran gains military reprieve but faces unclear concessions; Israel's regional dominance questioned by ceasefire scope; global energy markets shift from supply-shock concerns to potential normalization.
Similar to 2015 JCPOA negotiations—optimistic market signals preceded by vague terms and last-minute complications; risk of deal collapse if Friday signing fails.
