TEHRAN — As a fragile ceasefire holds across the region, the question on the minds of many Iranians is whether a lasting diplomatic deal with the United States can be forged to avert a catastrophic return to open war.

The internal political landscape further complicates the path to an agreement. Hardline factions remain vocally opposed to any engagement...
