    "High-level Switzerland talks are drawing market interest, but the 4% price shows participants view full diplomatic normalization as extremely unlikely in the current conflict context.",
    "The Kalshi contract on Iran agreeing to end uranium enrichment by December 31 sits at 13% on Polymarket, implying a hierarchy: enrichment deal possible but embassy reopening seen as a far more distant step.",
    "Resolution source is The New York Times; the contract likely requires a formal, publicly announced US decision to reopen or reestablish an embassy in Tehran."
