3 prediction markets price this story:

Will Iran target an Arab country by September 30, 2026? — resolved “Yes” on 8 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Iran launches an air strike or surface-to-surface missile at a listed Arab country before September 30, 2026, regardless of whether the munitions are intercepted. The action must be explicitly claimed by Iran or confirmed to originate from Iranian territory; attacks by proxy forces do not count.
Iran Nuke before 2027? — the market puts it at 4%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome requires credible reports from international nuclear agencies, Iran's government, or global news sources to officially confirm that Iran possesses a nuclear weapon by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The No outcome applies if this confirmation does not occur within the specified timeframe.
Will the U.S. invade Iran before 2027? — the market puts it at 16%, with $283k 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.

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.
