4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices a 21% probability that Iran agrees to end uranium enrichment by December 31, 2026.
Nine straight nights of US airstrikes and Khamenei rejecting ceasefire terms are consistent with the low 21% probability; talks have collapsed.
The Polymarket contract on Iranian regime survival (CM-EVT-QNQ4VPVP80) sits at 10% for regime fall before 2027, suggesting the market prices continued conflict rather than resolution.
Resolves via Polymarket UMA oracle; the enrichment halt must be formally agreed and verifiable to settle YES.
