The peace deal has sparked mixed reactions across political lines. As reported by Al Jazeera, there are four distinct groups in the United States: those who supported both the war and the peace, those who supported the war but oppose the peace, those who opposed both, and those who opposed the war but now support the peace. The last group is the largest, representing Americans who want economic relief at gas pumps and grocery stores.
Critics argue that the deal falls short of expectations. Congressional Republicans, according to Al Jazeera, cheered the initial attacks on Iran but have since expressed dissatisfaction with the peace agreement. They compare it unfavorably to the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by Obama's administration.
The White House has defended the agreement, with Vice President JD Vance stating that gas prices are already falling and Iran's nuclear program is destroyed. However, some energy executives believe oil demand could push global prices higher, as reported by The Guardian.
