Trump warns of bombings if Iran ceasefire expires without deal

President Trump warned that “lots of bombs” will start going off if the Iran ceasefire expires without a deal. The odds of the ceasefire ending by April 21 are at 13% YES, up from 6% yesterday.

Market reaction

The April 21 ceasefire end market saw the most action, spiking 5 points at 11:03 AM as traders priced in Trump’s escalation rhetoric. The April 30 ceasefire market dropped to 38% YES from 59% 24 hours ago, as Trump’s language suggests continued military operations.

Why it matters

The permanent peace deal by April 22 market is at 20% YES, down from 40% yesterday. Traders are skeptical about a breakthrough given stalled talks and Trump’s aggressive stance. His remarks signal increased tension, though they could also be a negotiating tactic. The chance of a ceasefire resolution or permanent peace deal by April 22 looks slim. Buying YES on a ceasefire end at 16¢ offers a 6.25x return if tensions escalate into renewed conflict.

What to watch

Vice President JD Vance’s negotiations in Islamabad are the immediate variable. Any hint of a compromise or new talks could shift odds fast. Expect updates from US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
