What would overturn it

A formal IAEA withdrawal notification or an official Iranian government announcement of NPT withdrawal would resolve this a miss; continued televised rhetoric from officials without a filed notice would not count as a change.

The verdict

As logged at issue

Iran is very likely to keep its nuclear rhetoric at the level of public pressure, with no formal NPT withdrawal notice filed before January 1 — a Polymarket contract on the same question prices withdrawal at just above 10 percent, in line with our own read; an actual IAEA withdrawal filing, rather than further televised remarks, is what would change this.
