Persistent hostilities and the absence of diplomatic relations since 1979 continue to anchor trader expectations against a U.S. embassy reopening in Iran during 2026. Early 2026 saw direct military exchanges, including Iranian strikes on regional U.S. facilities and subsequent U.S. and Israeli responses that damaged Iranian capabilities, followed by fragile ceasefires and limited June talks on de-escalation. Switzerland maintains protecting-power functions through its Tehran interests section, with no U.S. physical presence restored. The 95.5% implied probability for “No” reflects this entrenched standoff, though a comprehensive bilateral accord normalizing ties before year-end could still shift the outcome.
