3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will the U.S. invade Iran before 2027? — the market puts it at 20%, with $137k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if the United States starts a military offensive to control any part of Iran by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The No outcome applies if this specific action does not happen within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of 2027 or assume diplomatic talks count as an invasion.
  • Will Iran target Jordan by October 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 14%, with $489 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Iran launches an air strike or surface-to-surface missile at Jordan before October 31, 2026. The action must be explicitly claimed by Iran or confirmed to originate from Iranian territory; proxy attacks do not count. Readers often mistake threats or proxy strikes for qualifying events.
  • Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 9%, with $277 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if the United States agrees to, signs, or accepts a new nuclear deal with Iran before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake general economic resilience for an actual agreement on the nuclear deal.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
