Israel vows harsher strikes if Iran rejects US proposal

Israel’s Defense Minister vowed harsher strikes if Iran refuses the US proposal, and the odds for a US-Iran peace deal by April 22 sit at 16.5% YES, pressured by the threat of escalation.

The April 22 peace deal odds dropped despite climbing from 12% a week ago. The threat of intensified Israeli strikes raises doubts about any near-term diplomatic resolution. The 38.5% YES odds for an April 30 deal suggest traders see some room for progress over the following week, but the gap between the two dates reflects real uncertainty about timing.

The diplomatic meeting market shows odds at 2.3% YES for no qualifying US-Iran meeting by June 30, meaning traders broadly expect some form of talks to happen. But this market is thinly traded: $283 in actual USDC, with $404 enough to move the price 5 points.

If Israeli strikes materialize, they could derail negotiations entirely. A YES share for the April 22 peace deal at 16.5¢ pays 4.5x if a deal is signed in six days. With that deadline approaching and military threats escalating, the window for agreement is narrow.

Watch for official statements from the White House or Iran’s Foreign Ministry on the status of talks. Any confirmation of new negotiations or an intermediary stepping in could move these markets fast.
