  "framework": "Iran 1979 founding chart (1 April 1979 15:00 IRST Tehran, plus or minus 60 minutes uncertainty documented). Saturn (Shani) in late Pisces sidereal aspecting natal Sun in 8th house through early 2027 with closest aspect around 15 February 2027; then Saturn ingresses sidereal Aries on 23 May 2027 to enter the 9th house of dharma and foreign posture. The 8th-into-9th sequence captures both transit segments with their tightest joint structural orb on the 1979 chart inside the window. Computed via Swiss Ephemeris with True Pushya Paksha (PVRN Rao) ayanamsa. The Iran 1979 chart is not part of the calibrated six-chart Tempora library (Russia, USA, India, UK, China, Pakistan); no published lift figure for Saturn-natal-Sun on this chart. Call sits in lower-confidence (uncalibrated) tier.",

  "lookback_basis": "Iran 1979 chart is not part of the six-chart calibrated Tempora library. No empirically-derived signal lift is published for Saturn-natal-Sun on this chart. The framework's read is structural rather than calibrated: 8th-house Saturn aspect to the lagna lord Sun is read in classical mundane astrology as the structural-pressure signature on head-of-state and institutional spine; Saturn ingressing the 9th house is read as the foundational claim itself coming under structural pressure. Adjacent precedent on the same chart: 1979 Iran-USA hostage crisis (within first year of chart), 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war (extended Saturn pressure on the 8th-9th axis), 2009 Green Movement (Saturn-Rahu return signature), 2020 Soleimani strike (Mars activations of Saturn-Rahu lagna stack). These are narrative precedents on the chart, not empirical lift figures.",
