Arang Keshavarzian, a professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies at New York University, described the aftermath of the Iran conflict as a fragile and uncertain transition period. He said regional powers remain divided over the ceasefire framework, suggesting unresolved differences could complicate next steps. He also highlighted concerns about security in the Strait of Hormuz as a key pressure point.
