Leaving room for interpretation in the text of the agreement was a deliberate move that has allowed both parties to reach an interim deal, an analyst says. “If they wanted to have a rigid text with only one understanding, they couldn’t achieve any agreement on the text at all,” Mohamed Eslami of Tehran University told Al Jazeera.
It’s not only the Lebanon issue that has left open the door for interpretation to both parties but also Iranian assets and the future management of the Strait of Hormuz. “The text is deliberately designed to allow both parties to frame it domestically as a victory.
It is not only for the Americans but also for the Iranians.” “There are many more topics to be discussed during 60 or 30 days of very, very hard negotiations. This is the beginning of a marathon for both parties. If they cannot agree on the core issues, this interim deal will not work,” Eslami added.
