The dust is settling after a new US-Iran deal, but one question still matters: is this economic crisis over? Oil prices have decreased on the news that a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the two countries, but that MOU is still lacking details and leaves a lot to the imagination.
Now, questions are being asked about how quickly oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz can return to pre-war levels, whether a toll for using the waterway is now on the cards for the future, and who will pay for a $300 Billion dollar fund aimed at economic reconstruction in Iran. And given all these questions, critics are now asking whether the biggest winner when it comes to cold, hard cash, is actually Tehran.
