Note on Middle East Markets: The promise of prediction markets is to harness the wisdom of the crowd to create accurate, unbiased forecasts for the most important events to society. That ability is particularly invaluable in gut-wrenching times like today. After discussing with those directly affected by the attacks, who had dozens of questions, we realized that prediction markets could give them the answers they needed in ways TV news and Twitter could not.

Only deals which are officially announced by both parties will qualify. Informal announcements which do not constitute a finalized agreement will not count.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if an official agreement over Iranian nuclear research and/or nuclear weapon development, defined as a publicly announced mutual agreement, is reached between the United States and Iran between February 4, and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
If such an agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to "Yes", regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect.
Agreements that include the United States and Iran as parties, even if they also involve other countries (e.g., a multilateral deal like the JCPOA), will qualify for resolution.
The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by the United States and/or the Islamic Republic of Iran, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming an agreement has been reached will also qualify.
I’m honestly thinking this deal is not happening. Iranian foreign minister has declared Iran will not enter negotiations as long as Israel is still bombing them, and Israel cannot (will not) stop because they’re t trying to disable Iranian offensive infrastructure. An Iranian official has also stated that they would be willing to impose limits on their uranium enrichment capacity, but not fully disable it, which Trump disagrees on. These are (at the moment) irreconcilable differences and the defense community thinks a strike this Friday/weekend is increasingly likely.
Trump: "Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision on whether or not to go within the next two weeks"
Rumor has it that Witkoff has been speaking to the Iranian foreign minister and he says Iran will only agree to discuss a nuclear deal when Israel stops bombing them.
I have found a value bet Will the US strike the Fordow nuclear facility before July For me it should be sixty NO instead of forty My opinion is NO as many factors reduce the chance of this happening see the rules the attack must penetrate and not be neutralized Technical Limitations Fordow is underground protected by concrete and rock built to resist drones and conventional bombs Only a bunkerbuster bomb like GBU fifty seven MOP could destroy it These bombs are rare risky and their failure would hurt Trump politically He is unlikely to use them unless under extreme pressure Political and Geopolitical Context Many Republicans MAGA and Congress members want to avoid another war Trump prefers to avoid a long conflict or new fronts with Russia and China Russia and others warn of major escalation and nuclear risk US intel says Iran is not actively making nuclear weapons so justification is weak
United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff established direct contact with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday evening, CNN reported on Sunday.
I'm sorry, but you are going to lose your money. There may be negotiations, but there's no way the US and Iran are going to be able to agree upon a deal this year. That bridge is burned, and Israel made sure of it.
