USA and Iran sign a formal nuclear agreement (JCPOA successor) by December 31, 2026 (confirmed by IAEA, US State Department, or Reuters/AFP)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 26. August 2026 · Predicted for 31. December 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event

Probability

66%

Polymarket prices a 66% probability of a US-Iran nuclear deal before 2027 (as of August 26, 2026). Iran's economy has been devastated after months of war and intensified US sanctions: food prices more than doubled since July 2025, USD blockade active, IRGC financing under extreme pressure. Trump said he is 'not in a hurry' but negotiations are ongoing; Oman is actively mediating. A nuclear off-ramp is politically far easier to achieve than comprehensive peace (separate open prediction: no peace treaty before September 2026) or a lasting ceasefire. Iran has historically concluded deals even under extreme pressure (JCPOA 2015). This prediction refers exclusively to a nuclear framework agreement, not a peace or ceasefire treaty.

Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives more than 18.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by Berlin Returning Officer or tagesschau.de by 21 September 2026)

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026): FDP falls below 5.0% of valid votes and fails to enter the Abgeordnetenhaus (confirmed by Berlin returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Swedish Riksdag election (September 13, 2026): Liberalerna (L) falls below 4.0% and fails to clear the parliamentary threshold (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by September 14, 2026)

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
