Current US-Iran bilateral engagement remains at an impasse; no discernible diplomatic thaw or de-escalation framework is active. The extant sanctions regime, Iran's hardline factional dominance, and ongoing regional proxy escalations preclude any movement towards even a preliminary rapprochement, let alone a full permanent peace accord, within a mere ~3-week window. This market significantly misprices the geopolitical friction index. 100% NO — invalid if official bilateral negotiations commence before May 10.
