Iran faces internal division between pragmatists seeking economic recovery and hardliners opposing US engagement. Pakistan positions itself as regional mediator while simultaneously strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, potentially constraining Iranian influence. US-Israel maintain pressure through military actions. Global powers dependent on Strait of Hormuz transit face economic leverage from Iran's closure.
Similar to 2015 JCPOA negotiations where Iran balanced domestic hardliners against economic necessity, but current situation more volatile with active military conflict, expired deadlines, and critical chokepoint closure affecting global commerce.

Prolonged Strait of Hormuz closure risks sustained elevated oil prices, increasing fuel and transportation costs for households globally. Unresolved geopolitical tensions deter investment in Iran, limiting economic growth and employment opportunities for Iranian consumers.
US and international policymakers may face pressure to re-engage diplomatic channels or enforce sanctions. Regional actors (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey) may formalize competing security frameworks. Central banks may need to monitor oil price volatility and inflation risks. Potential for renewed nuclear negotiations or escalated sanctions depending on negotiation outcomes.
