We shared this request example with FAB participants: url_qparams = { "limit": count, "offset": offset, "has_group": "false", "order_by": "-activity", "forecast_type": "binary", "project": tournament_id, "status": "open", "type": "forecast", "include_description": "true", } url = f"{api_info.base_url}/questions/" response = requests.get( url, headers={"Authorization": f"Token {api_info.token}"}, params=url_qparams )
But we don't want to support all these parameters, and the ones relevant are: - order_by - status - project - forecast_type - we ignore this, but assume it's binary - FAB only supports binary for now.

Withdrawal from duties, for example due to health issues, is not sufficient.\n\nFleeing the country is defined as an indefinite departure from Iran and would also count for a Yes resolution. For example, reports that Khamenei has travelled to another country for medical treatment or a state visit would be considered temporary and would be insufficient. However, a departure in the context of a regime change in Tehran would be considered indefinite and would resolve as Yes. To assess the truth of the matter, Metaculus will consult credible source reporting.

Times: [Trump’s Iran Choice: Last-Chance Diplomacy or a Bunker-Busting Bomb](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/us/politics/trump-iran-diplomacy-conflict.html)\n\n> President Trump is weighing a critical decision in the four-day-old war between Israel and Iran: whether to enter the fray by helping Israel destroy the deeply buried nuclear enrichment facility at Fordo, which only America’s biggest “bunker buster,” dropped by American B-2 bombers, can reach.\n\n> “Fordo has always been the crux of this thing,” said Brett McGurk, who worked on Middle East issues for four successive American presidents, from George W. Bush to Joseph R. Biden Jr. “If this ends with Fordo still enriching, then it’s not a strategic gain.”\n\n> That has been true for a long time, and over the past two years the U.S. military has refined the operation, under close White House scrutiny. The exercises led to the conclusion that one bomb would not solve the problem; any attack on Fordo would have to come in waves, with B-2s releasing one bomb after another down the same hole. And the operation would have to be executed by an American pilot and crew.\n\nAccording to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordow_Fuel_Enrichment_Plant):\n\n> **Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant** (**FFEP**) is an Iranian underground [uranium enrichment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_enrichment \"Uranium enrichment\") facility located 30 kilometres (20 mi) northeast of the Iranian city of [Qom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qom \"Qom\"), at a former [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Revolutionary_Guard_Corps \"Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\") base.The site is under the control of the [Atomic Energy Organization of Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Energy_Organization_of_Iran \"Atomic Energy Organization of Iran\") (AEOI). It is the second Iranian [uranium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium \"Uranium\") enrichment facility, the other being the [Natanz Nuclear Facility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natanz_Nuclear_Facility \"Natanz Nuclear Facility\").\n\nIn addition to the US striking the Fordow enrichment facility, there have also been reports of Israel [requesting](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/israel-seeks-us-bunker-buster-14-000-kg-bomb-to-hit-irans-nuclear-sites-8691511) to be supplied with the bunker buster by the US. The Trump Administration is reported to be [considering](https://zamin.uz/en/world/152401-a-warning-signal-from-the-us-to-israel-bunker-bombs-under-discussion.html) the request.", "resolution_criteria": "This question resolves as **Yes** if, before January 1, 2026, the United States or Israel launches a direct kinetic attack on the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP) in Iran, either by using a weapon system that has the ability to penetrate the ground deeply enough to significantly degrade and damage the plant or by planting explosives through a ground operation, according to [credible sources](https://www.metaculus.com/faq/#definitions).", "fine_print": "An example of a weapon system that would count is the [GBU-57A/B MOP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-57A/B_MOP), \n\nAn example of a ground operation that would count is the 2024 [Masyaf commando raid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Masyaf_raid).\n\nAn attack must be kinetic, which for purposes of this question [is defined as](https://defensescoop.com/2023/09/19/how-army-leaders-envision-non-kinetic-capabilities-enabling-traditional-forces/) involving weapons systems such as bombs that physically engage targets. Non-kinetic attacks, such as the [Stuxnet cyber attack](https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-real-story-of-stuxnet) that destroyed centrifuges at a different Iranian facility, will not count for purposes of this question. \n\nThe attack must also be direct, which means physically targeting and making contact with the plant itself. Indirect attacks, such as Israel's June 13, 2025 [attack](https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/detail/post-attack-analysis-of-israels-june-12-13-military-attack-on-irans-nuclear) on the electrical energy supply of Iran's Natanz facility, would not count, even if they result in the destruction of centrifuges or other parts of the Fordow plant.\n\nFor purposes of this question, resolution is based on whether an attack on the FFEP facility has taken place rather than the amount of damage actually inflicted.

Bush to Joseph R. Biden Jr. “If this ends with Fordo still enriching, then it’s not a strategic gain.”\n\n> That has been true for a long time, and over the past two years the U.S. military has refined the operation, under close White House scrutiny. The exercises led to the conclusion that one bomb would not solve the problem; any attack on Fordo would have to come in waves, with B-2s releasing one bomb after another down the same hole. And the operation would have to be executed by an American pilot and crew.\n\nAccording to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordow_Fuel_Enrichment_Plant):\n\n> **Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant** (**FFEP**) is an Iranian underground [uranium enrichment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_enrichment \"Uranium enrichment\") facility located 30 kilometres (20 mi) northeast of the Iranian city of [Qom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qom \"Qom\"), at a former [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Revolutionary_Guard_Corps \"Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\") base.The site is under the control of the [Atomic Energy Organization of Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Energy_Organization_of_Iran \"Atomic Energy Organization of Iran\") (AEOI).
