4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices only 11% on the Iranian regime falling before 2027.
Eleven consecutive nights of strikes have not moved regime-collapse odds into meaningful territory, with markets treating the current government as durable.
The 22% Polymarket contract on Iran ending uranium enrichment by December 31 similarly reflects low confidence in a decisive outcome.
Resolves via UMA oracle; regime survival definition and verification mechanism are the key settlement questions.
