Iranian Hardliners Protest US Talks in Tehran Metro as July 31 Meeting Odds Hit 73.5%

Summary
Hardline supporters of the Islamic Republic gathered in a Tehran metro station to denounce negotiations with the United States, chanting slogans against peace efforts and calling Donald Trump a “murderer.”
The protest underscores internal resistance to diplomacy even after an initial peace agreement, raising fresh doubts about efforts to de-escalate the 2026 conflict triggered by U.S.-Israeli military action against Iran.
Prediction markets still price a U.S.-Iran diplomatic meeting by July 31 at 73.5%, a slight increase from recent days, though traders see the chants as a sign of possible obstacles to further talks.
Qatar and Pakistan are among the mediators to watch, while Vice President J.D. Vance and Iranian negotiator Kazem Gharibabadi are seen as key figures in determining whether negotiations advance.
