Five Americans detained in Tehran have already been moved to house arrest. And, in time, a number of Iranians jailed in the US will be freed.

Perhaps most significant is the release of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets. US sanctions remain in place and mistrust is still an issue for both parties.

But the deal is being described as a significant political achievement – and some analysts suggest it could lay the groundwork for revisiting the 2015 nuclear accord.

So, will this agreement lead to another one? And with the 2024 US election around the corner, will it begin to change the US’s relationship with its long-time foe?
