4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices the Iranian regime falling before 2027 at 9%, a low-probability tail despite ongoing nightly US strikes.
Seven nights of US airstrikes on infrastructure plus Iran's continued retaliation and escalatory warnings are consistent with a stressed but surviving regime scenario.
The Kalshi contract on the US recognizing Reza Pahlavi as Iranian leader by 2026 sits at just 7%, corroborating the market's view that regime change is a remote outcome.
Resolves via Polymarket's UMA oracle based on whether the current Iranian government ceases to hold power before January 1, 2027.
