The question asks broadly about attending a diplomatic meeting, but the rules narrow this to formal senior-level peace talks or negotiating rounds, specifically excluding technical talks, working groups, ceremonial appearances, and brief greetings. However, the rules expand qualifying diplomacy to include indirect in-person talks via mediators where delegates are not in the same room, as long as Pete Hegseth is physically present and actively participating. Determining whether an encounter meets the threshold of a formal senior-level round rather than a preparatory or deconfliction session requires qualitative interpretation. Resolution relies on official government statements or a consensus of credible media reporting to verify the nature of the meeting and active participation.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed individual attends any formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying round must be a deliberate in-person diplomatic meeting or negotiating round concerning US-Iran relations, involving senior representatives of both the United States and Iran who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to conduct or materially direct diplomacy on behalf of their governments. Indirect in-person diplomacy through designated mediators, facilitators, or interlocutors will qualify, provided senior representatives of both the United States and Iran are participating in the same formal diplomatic process with the knowledge and authorization of their respective governments. The representatives need not be in the same room at the same time. Follow-on technical talks from the June 22 Switzerland round will not qualify by themselves. Technical, staff-level, working-group, implementation, monitoring, preparatory, or deconfliction meetings will not qualify unless they occur as part of a new formally convened senior-level U.S.-Iran peace-talks round. Brief greetings, chance encounters, photo opportunities, ceremonial appearances, or talks not deliberately aimed at diplomacy or negotiation will not count. The meeting must be in-person (including indirect in-person meetings) and must be publicly acknowledged by either government or reported by a consensus of credible media. Remote meetings, phone calls, or other meetings where the relevant parties are not present will not count. Attendance refers to the listed individual being physically present and actively participating. If a formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran takes place over multiple days, attendance at any part of the meeting will qualify. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the listed individual and the governments of the United States and Iran; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
Market explained
This market measures whether Pete Hegseth will physically attend a formal, senior-level US-Iran diplomatic meeting or peace talks round by December 31, 2026. It unusually permits indirect in-person diplomacy through intermediaries as long as both nations participate in the same authorized process.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if Pete Hegseth physically attends and actively participates in any part of a formal senior-level in-person round of peace talks or deliberate diplomatic negotiations between authorized US and Iran representatives before the deadline. Indirect in-person diplomacy through designated intermediaries qualifies if both sides participate in the same authorized process. Remote meetings, phone calls, brief greetings, chance encounters, ceremonial events, technical follow-on talks from the June 22 Switzerland round, or standalone staff-level meetings do not qualify. The market resolves to No if no such qualifying attendance occurs by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. The deciding source is official information from the individual or the US and Iranian governments, or a consensus of credible media reporting.
Resolution source
Official information from Pete Hegseth, the government of the United States, or the government of Iran, supplemented by a consensus of credible reporting.
