Potential reduction in U.S.-Iran antagonism could diminish American regional hegemony, strengthen Iran's economic position, and shift Gulf state alignments. Israel and Saudi Arabia may feel strategically disadvantaged. European powers gain negotiating leverage. Global oil markets stabilize with Hormuz reopening.
Similar to the JCPOA (2015) framework but with direct U.S.-Iran negotiation; echoes Cold War détente agreements trading security assurances for economic concessions.
