3 prediction markets price this story:

• Iran war and foreign policy — the market puts it at 7%, closing 6 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if voters identify the Iran war and foreign policy as their top priority in the 2026 national U.S. House exit poll. It resolves to No if that specific issue does not rank first in those results. Readers often mistake this for a prediction of actual military action or political outcomes rather than voter priorities.
• Will the US officially declare war on Iran by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 4%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Congress passes and the President signs a formal declaration of war against Iran before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Military actions, executive orders, or authorizations for the use of force do not count toward this outcome. Readers often mistake military strikes or presidential statements for an official declaration of war.
• Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 10%, with $1k 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.
