The trajectory
The record since
The call stands as issued — no revisions.
What would overturn it
A confirmed U.S. strike on Iranian territory or forces in that window would resolve this true; a further diplomatic concession from Tehran significant enough to reopen negotiations, or a continued postponement past December 3 with no strike, would resolve it false.
The verdict
Open Resolves by 3 Dec 26 — graded at the weekly Reckoning against the criteria above, and recorded here.
As logged at issue
