Traders have pushed 100% higher as the signing date approaches, reflecting confidence that the deal will materialize despite lingering diplomatic doubts.

Background
The United States and Iran have been locked in a proxy war across the Middle East since 2020, with both sides accusing each other of destabilizing the region. Diplomatic overtures intensified after the recent change in Iran’s foreign ministry, and President Trump has taken a personal role in negotiating the terms. The agreement promises to halt hostilities, lift sanctions, and reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, which handles about a fifth of global oil shipments. The deal’s success hinges on both governments honoring the written commitment before the July 31 deadline.
The precedent
- The United States and Iran signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2015, a major diplomatic accord later abandoned in 2018
