US recognizes Reza Pahlavi as leader of Iran in 2026?
This Polymarket tracks whether the Trump administration will officially recognize Reza Pahlavi as the leader of Iran by December 31, 2026. For a Yes resolution, the US must make a direct and unqualified statement recognizing him in a role such as head of state, prime minister, or another position with primary executive authority in Iran. The market resolves at the end of 2026 and is a closely watched geopolitical bet tied to US-Iran policy and regime-change speculation.
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.
