Investing.com – Raymond James said it has identified potential areas where the Islamabad ceasefire agreement could fall apart, focusing on the specific details of reopening the Strait.

The firm said the ceasefire agreement appears to be driven primarily by the desire to avoid long-term impacts from attacks on energy infrastructure, rather than by any broad willingness to reach an agreement.

Raymond James emphasized several key areas that need to be closely watched. These areas include the scope of freedom of navigation, and the difference between that and navigation that, according to statements from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, involves “coordination with Iran’s armed forces and fully taking into account technical restrictions.”

Other concerns include potential mine-clearing work, as well as Iran’s push for a long-term imposition of tolls—especially considering that Iran’s parliament has already passed a bill to formalize the toll structure.
