The 60-Day Clock: Why This US-Iran Deal Is a Test, Not a Treaty
After nearly four months of fighting, the US and Iran have put pen to paper on a framework to stop shooting—but the most important number in this deal isn't the $300 billion reconstruction fund or the barrels of oil. It's 60. That's how many days this interim agreement actually buys, and what happens inside that window will tell you whether this is a genuine peace or just an intermission.
Bottom Line
This is a real diplomatic breakthrough, but it's a framework with a timer on it, not a finished peace. The fighting stops; the hard part—verifying Iran's uranium dilution and negotiating a final nuclear deal while Tehran's leadership is in question—is still ahead. Treat the Friday signing as the start of the test, not the end of the war.
