Iranian MP declares US-Iran talks “off the table,” signaling potential freeze

An Iranian MP declared future US-Iran talks “off the table,” citing US demands and recent actions. The market for a qualifying US-Iran diplomatic meeting by June 30 sits at 3.4% YES.

The statement hit the US-Iran Peace Deal market directly. Odds for a peace deal by April 22 dropped to 14.5%, down from 16% yesterday. The June 30 market holds at 69.5% YES, reflecting more room for the longer timeline.

The diplomatic meeting market sees minimal action. June 30 remains flat at 3.4% YES, trading $886/day in USDC. It’s a thin market: $457 is enough to move it 5 points. Low volume and low liquidity point to traders staying on the sidelines regarding near-term talks.

The declaration signals a possible diplomatic freeze, but the source is a tier-3 outlet, so this could be posturing rather than actual policy. A YES share in the diplomatic market priced at 3¢ pays $1 if no meeting happens by June 30, a 33x return. For that bet to make sense, you’d need to believe these talks are genuinely dead, not just paused.

Watch for official statements from the White House or Iranian Foreign Ministry that could confirm or contradict this stance. Any unexpected moves by mediators like Pakistan would also matter.
