Middle East Greets US-Iran Deal With Muted Hope and Collapse Fears

🌍 MIDDLE EAST — The region that bleeds the most trusts the deal the least. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Muted reception isn't apathy — it's institutional memory. Analysts and publics have watched US-Iran frameworks collapse before. Cautious hope without enforcement confidence means local actors hedge: Gulf states won't reverse diversification, Iraqi militias won't stand down, Hezbollah won't disarm on an MOU. The deal's durability requires regional belief it holds. That belief doesn't exist yet.
