This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Trump administration announces that the United States officially recognizes Reza Pahlavi as the "leader of Iran" by December 31, 2026, 11:59 ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Roles that could qualify for "leader of Iran" status include, but are not limited to, "head of state," "prime minister," or other similar roles that give him primary executive authority in the territory of Iran. A qualifying US statement must be direct and unqualified. Conditional, hypothetical, supportive, or implied statements do not count. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US government and Donald Trump, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.

Reza Pahlavi's prominent March 28 CPAC speech urged President Trump to \"finish the job\" and reject deals with Tehran, positioning himself for a transitional role, but Trump has expressed skepticism about his leadership viability. Under new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, the regime demonstrates resilience despite war impacts, protests, and economic strain, with recent reports highlighting its survival focus and opposition disunity as key barriers to premature diplomatic recognition.",
