The US forces enter Iran by April 30 market holds at 100% YES, meaning traders treat US ground troops entering Iran within the next two weeks as a certainty. The Iran striking Israel by April 30 market also reads 100%, pointing to the same expectation of imminent military action.

No trading volume has been reported in the last 24 hours. At 100% odds with zero activity, the market appears frozen rather than actively traded. Any new data could trigger significant movement, since there is currently no price discovery happening.
Iran’s military posturing and the US naval blockade threats point to real risk of escalation. The 100% odds mean traders are treating further military action as a resolved outcome, not a speculative one. There is no remaining risk premium in these contracts.
Watch for Trump’s next move, IRGC responses to the blockade threat, and any diplomatic overtures from Pakistan or other regional actors. These are the inputs most likely to either confirm or break the current market consensus.
