The truce reduces fighting scale but does not fully eliminate escalation risks. The Strait of Hormuz is expected to be fully open by Friday, with commercial traffic no longer hostage to coercive measures. According to Reuters, U.S. Vice President JD Vance will attend the ceremony in Geneva, though Trump's attendance remains unconfirmed.
The agreement creates a 60-day period for intensive technical talks on contentious issues such as Iran’s nuclear program. Leaked drafts suggest this immediate window is crucial for addressing unresolved disputes. Additionally, France and Britain are pushing plans for a multinational naval mission to safeguard shipping through the Strait of Hormuz if the ceasefire holds.
The E4 nations—United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy—have stated they are prepared to lift sanctions on Iran in response to steps on its nuclear program. Senior Iranian officials have declared that any foreign military presence in the Strait of Hormuz is unacceptable, emphasizing control rests with Iran and Oman.
