The market says Iran talks are a coin-flip. Washington's posture says something closer to wishful thinking.

Desk note: This piece runs against the wire's framing of the Iran talks as a defined process with a known endpoint. The Polymarket and FT data, read together, suggest the process is the endpoint, and that the administration's domestic agenda is priced to a similar discount.
