REJECTED — Price already looks about right

US-Iran Hormuz Agreement by November 30?

View market on Polymarket →

Why it looked attractive

Price moved 3pts in a day amid active US-Iran Hormuz negotiations reported this week, worth a fresh check against the news.

Why it was rejected

Iran has offered a 2-day implementation plan (reopen Hormuz once US meets conditions) since early Nov, and Trump called talks 'coming together nicely' on Nov 2. But Nov 9 reporting has Rubio saying there is no breakthrough and calling Iran's demands 'outrageous,' and Iran threatening renewed fighting if the US doesn't accept its terms. Nine months of stalemate with repeated false-dawn optimism and a high bar for resolution (both sides must announce acceptance of the SAME agreement) keeps our estimate near the market's 15.5-16%; no 5+pt edge.
