This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States formally recognizes any new government as the legitimate governing authority of the majority of the territory known as Syria, by March 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Only formal recognition of a government as the country's legitimate authority/government will qualify. Statements/actions which acknowledge a new Syrian government, but do not formally recognize the authority of the government will not qualify.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the recognizing government, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
