2 prediction markets price this story:
- Will Marco Rubio attend a US x Iran diplomatic meeting by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 9%, with $111 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. Marco Rubio must be physically present and actively participate in a formal senior-level diplomatic meeting between US and Iran officials for the 'Yes' outcome. The event must occur by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET and be publicly acknowledged or reported by credible media. Readers often mistake technical talks or brief greetings for qualifying diplomacy, but only deliberate senior-level negotiations count.
- US recognizes Reza Pahlavi as leader of Iran in 2026? — the market puts it at 4%, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the Trump administration makes a direct, unqualified announcement recognizing Reza Pahlavi as Iran's leader by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 ET. The recognition must grant him primary executive authority, such as head of state or prime minister. Readers often mistake conditional statements or general support for the required official declaration.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
