Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh confirmed Tehran’s refusal to meet US demands, halting hopes for a uranium enrichment agreement. Iran agreeing to end enrichment by April 30 is now at 39% YES, up from 10% a week ago.

Market reaction

Iran agreeing to end enrichment by April 30 sits at 39% YES after jumping from 10% a week ago. The US obtaining Iranian enriched uranium by May 31 market is at 25.5% YES, showing little change. The April 30 surrender market is at 33.4% YES, up from 13% a week ago.

Daily volume on the enrichment agreement market is $23,824 in USDC. A $599 order can move the price 5 percentage points, which means the book is thin enough that a single large trade could shift odds meaningfully. The largest recent move was a 3-point spike, suggesting traders are cautious about further breakdowns.

Why it matters

Iran’s public defiance narrows the window for a deal. The markets are reacting to concrete statements from Khatibzadeh, not speculation. For a YES outcome, traders need to believe a deal could emerge within 14 days. At 39¢, a YES share pays $1, a 2.56x return if resolved. That requires a rapid diplomatic breakthrough on a timeline that looks increasingly tight.

What to watch

Statements from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei or senior US officials are the most likely catalysts. Any shift in language, back-channel signals, or new mediator involvement could move these markets quickly.
