Market context

Iran is currently locked in a fragile 60-day ceasefire with the United States and Israel, following a devastating war that began in February 2026, with high-level peace negotiations now underway in Switzerland. The market’s 0% probability for any listed person visiting Iran reflects the extreme security volatility and the fact that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has only just embarked on his first foreign trip since the conflict, heading to Pakistan for a state visit rather than returning home to host international dignitaries[1][3].

Historically, foreign leaders rarely enter Iran during active or immediate post-war ceasefires unless the visit is a direct result of a signed peace treaty, as seen when Pezeshkian signed the Islamabad Memorandum remotely in June 2026 rather than meeting in person[3]. Comparable cases from the 2025 Iran-Israel war show that even after conflict, the first international destination for Iranian leadership was Pakistan, not a venue for hosting outsiders, suggesting that the current geopolitical climate makes a physical entry by a listed person highly improbable before the settlement window closes[1].

Traders must monitor the outcome of the ongoing talks at Bürgenstock Resort, where US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are negotiating the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon[4][5]. A critical catalyst is whether Trump’s threats to resume airstrikes force a collapse of the ceasefire, which would further seal Iran’s borders, or if a final peace agreement is signed that mandates an in-person summit in Tehran[4]. Recent reports indicate significant progress on the Strait of Hormuz, yet Tehran’s renewed closure of the strait underscores the fragility of the deal, making any sudden visit by a foreign leader unlikely without a formalised, high-security diplomatic breakthrough[4][5].

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
