**US-Iran diplomatic efforts remain stalled following the mid-August expiration of the June 2026 Memorandum of Understanding, which had set a 60-day window for broader negotiations on sanctions relief, the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran's nuclear program.** Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and President Masoud Pezeshkian, have repeatedly stated openness to renewed talks only if Washington fulfills prior commitments on lifting blockades and sanctions, while separate technical discussions continue with Oman on Hormuz shipping routes. Mediators from Qatar and Pakistan have facilitated recent contacts, including a late-August visit by Qatar’s prime minister to Tehran, but both sides report no active direct negotiations as of early September. Key unresolved issues—maritime security, nuclear inspections, and regional de-escalation—continue to shape trader assessments of whether high-level US-Iran talks can resume before the December 31 deadline amid ongoing mutual conditions and economic pressures.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed individual attends any formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A qualifying round must be a deliberate in-person diplomatic meeting or negotiating round concerning US-Iran relations, involving senior representatives of both the United States and Iran who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to conduct or materially direct diplomacy on behalf of their governments.
Indirect in-person diplomacy through designated mediators, facilitators, or interlocutors will qualify, provided senior representatives of both the United States and Iran are participating in the same formal diplomatic process with the knowledge and authorization of their respective governments. The representatives need not be in the same room at the same time.
Follow-on technical talks from the June 22 Switzerland round will not qualify by themselves. Technical, staff-level, working-group, implementation, monitoring, preparatory, or deconfliction meetings will not qualify unless they occur as part of a new formally convened senior-level U.S.-Iran peace-talks round.
Brief greetings, chance encounters, photo opportunities, ceremonial appearances, or talks not deliberately aimed at diplomacy or negotiation will not count.
The meeting must be in-person (including indirect in-person meetings) and must be publicly acknowledged by either government or reported by a consensus of credible media. Remote meetings, phone calls, or other meetings where the relevant parties are not present will not count.
Attendance refers to the listed individual being physically present and actively participating.
If a formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran takes place over multiple days, attendance at any part of the meeting will qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the listed individual and the governments of the United States and Iran; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.**US-Iran diplomatic efforts remain stalled following the mid-August expiration of the June 2026 Memorandum of Understanding, which had set a 60-day window for broader negotiations on sanctions relief, the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran's nuclear program.**
