Decades of severed diplomatic relations since 1979, reinforced by the absence of any U.S. physical or formal diplomatic presence in Iran, underpin trader expectations that reopening will not occur in 2026. Switzerland continues to serve as the protecting power handling U.S. interests through its Tehran embassy. A brief June 2026 memorandum of understanding and related talks collapsed amid renewed hostilities, sanctions enforcement, and economic measures, leaving no pathway to full embassy operations. With only months remaining in the year and no scheduled milestones indicating normalization, the 95.5% implied probability on “No” reflects sustained barriers. Late breakthroughs in bilateral talks or major de-escalation could theoretically shift the outcome before December 31, though current conditions make such developments improbable.
