Pezeshkian signs MoU with Washington: a deal Tehran is calling 'historic' and a market that isn't sure it's real

A 14-point Islamabad MoU between Trump and Pezeshkian has been signed, announced, and celebrated in Tehran as 'historic,' while the Polymarket contract on a 2026 Congressional approval has slipped from 34% to 28% in twenty-six hours.

Desk note: Monexus led with Iranian-aligned Telegram channels for the announcement register, with Unusual Whales and Polymarket as the price-of-belief anchor, and withheld editorial judgment on durability until the body of the memorandum is published. The 28% Polymarket print is the single most important tell in this story; we will revise the read the moment either side releases the full text or a senior US official confirms scope on the record.
