The verdict

Miss  Resolved 19 Oct 26.

No joint US-Iran confirmation of a seven-day Hormuz reopening framework by Oct 15; the US reportedly rejected Iran's plan and the US and Iran were still trading claims of control amid ship attacks on Oct 17.

Mediator-reported progress and constructive-talks language did not translate into both governments confirming terms; deadline-bound deal calls need both-party confirmation to be near.

As logged at issue

It is unlikely that the US and Iranian governments both publicly confirm agreement on a seven-day Hormuz reopening framework by October 15. Both governments confirming terms, not mediators alone, is the signal that would overturn this.
