Iran Nuke 

Iran Nuke in 2025?

Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, claiming Iran was weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, despite U.S. intelligence assessments confirming Iran is not currently building one. President Trump has repeatedly emphasized that peace cannot coexist with Iran possessing nuclear capabilities, while critics argue the strikes and rhetoric are driven by longstanding political agendas.

Iran Nuclear Tensions

US intelligence assessed just weeks ago that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon

“The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003. https://t.co/jtNw3d3xgR

Trump says Iran cannot get nuclear bomb: "You can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon"

https://t.co/6NDTdCzQN5

Netanyahu says he attacked Iran to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon, but: 
1. Obama's deal had done that. Netanyahu convinced Trump to rip it up.
2. Trump was near a new deal. Netanyahu sabotaged it by bombing Iran. 
He just wanted to bomb Iran. https://t.co/DTs3QMYOpM

You can spend literally 40 years falsely warning the world that Iran is months or weeks away from obtaining a nuclear weapon: as Israel has been doing.

But the minute it's used as pretext to start a war, many Americans will say: "good! Iran was weeks away from getting nukes." https://t.co/nrhiOi7ChE

There is no part of me that disagrees with the decision of both the Americans and the Israelis to exclude the UK from intelligence on the strike on nuclear weapon facilities in Iran.
It ought to alarm us as a country, sadly I don’t think it will. https://t.co/PyhFxxG7DW

Yall realize that Iran allows inspections of their nuclear program, they’ve signed the nuclear treaties, and we were one day away from peace talks.

This “stopping Iran from getting a nuke” narrative is propaganda cooked up by Israel- the nation that stole its nuclear weapons https://t.co/Q25XbhRtsc

In case you missed it, Iran's lead negotiator Shemkhani said TWO WEEKS AGO Iran was ready to commit to NEVER having a nuclear weapon, but Mr. Art of The Deal trump didn't make it happen, he let Israel bomb the guy instead.

Useless fucking idiot.
https://t.co/EyuXtZseD2

The idea that Iran poses no threat to us is a fantasy.

Iran has killed hundreds of American troops. It tried to assassinate an ambassdor in D.C. It tried to kill President Trump. Its leaders chant death to America.

We must never let this terrorist regime get a nuclear weapon.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 "IRAN WAS DAYS AWAY FROM MAKING A NUCLEAR BOMB"

IDF International Spokesperson:

“We saw Iran specifically taking steps to advance the nuclear bomb.

They were days away from having a nuclear weapon, which is an Israeli problem, but it’s [also] a problem for all the world. https://t.co/2nh7yRo8DE https://t.co/3TffISp8zh

Spoke with Iranian FM @araghchi. Risk of further escalation in the region is dangerously high. Diplomacy must prevail. The EU has always been clear: Iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. Only diplomacy can lead to a lasting solution. The EU is ready to support.

.@POTUS: “You can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon.” https://t.co/4DY8exHwHq

The IDF spokesperson says Israel had to take this action now because of the "immediate imminent threat" of Iran developing a nuclear bomb

The interviewer quotes the US head of National Intelligence in March saying Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. https://t.co/HF5HGlzzSc

🇮🇷 Iran had two paths: 

1. The North Korean path: reject any negotiations and build a nuclear bomb. 

2. The Libyan path: negotiate, appease, and be destroyed. 

It seems they chose the second path...

2-3 WEEKS AGO: 🚨  “The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is NOT BUILDING A NUCLEAR WEAPON and Supreme Leader Khamanei has NOT AUTHORIZED the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003."

WHAT IS GOING ON?

https://t.co/xZhqq2AT6G

US Intelligence here saying that Iran was not believed to be building a nuclear weapon. Their sites are currently open to IAEA inspection as Iran is a signatory to the NPT. But for how much longer? However, Israel does have clandestine nuclear weapons. https://t.co/8tEAPZnPvl

YNET:  “The danger that Iran will quickly develop a nuclear bomb has been removed”

Trump tells The Atlanta:

“For those people who say they want peace—you can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon. So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon—that’s not peace.”

Precisely.

James O’Brien runs through the times Netanyahu previously warned that Iran’s nuclear bomb was ‘imminent’. https://t.co/CdOHM9LxWB

The claim that Iran was "weeks away" from having nukes is being used to justify Israel's attack. But @DNIGabbard said that "Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Ayatollah Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear-weapons program he suspended in 2003." https://t.co/p91HDApExx

President Trump claimed that since he “developed”  the term ‘America First,’ he has the authority to decide what it means, whether that involves war or peace with Iran.

Israel says its Mossad smuggled drones and vehicles into Iran and then set them up today morning. Israel then flew 200 fighters into Iran to hit 100+ targets, including Natanz, the main nuclear weapon site. 6 Iranian nuclear scientists also got killed.

BREAKING: Trump has said; Attack would be great for the market because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon

Iran has been producing highly enriched uranium (20%) for at least 7 years. They’ve had a stockpile of 60% HEU for at least 6 years. It takes just a couple of weeks to go from 60% to 90%. 

If Iran really wanted a nuclear bomb, they’d have one. There’s no other special equipment https://t.co/9TpWBnQ2L4

According to a report published Doron Kadosh, Israeli intelligence provided the political leadership with a stark warning ahead of its recent operation: Iran is only weeks away from assembling a nuclear bomb, should it choose to do so. 

This assessment was based on what

DNI Tulsi Gabbard testified back in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon nor had the Supreme Leader authorized the restart of the nuclear weapons program. 

Was this theater or did something change in a couple of months?

This feels unprecedented. Iranian MP Hossein-Ali Shahriari went on state TV this morning and is publicly imploring Khamenei to change Iran's nuclear doctrine and build a nuclear weapon. https://t.co/l89MJufOYV

Israeli and U.S. defense sources say the Israeli strike has temporarily disabled the Isfahan nuclear facility, calling it a major achievement in blocking Iran’s ability to quickly advance toward a nuclear bomb.

Israel attacked Iran after intel indicated Tehran is weeks away from nuclear weapon, @Doron_Kadosh reports; Israel monitored secret weaponization project, Iranian scientists reached testing phase of bomb components. This triggered the decision to strike. https://t.co/tdkaHe1TxH

BREAKING: Israeli media:

“The danger that Iran will quickly develop a nuclear bomb has been removed.”

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All the death and destruction we are seeing now is 100% bc of Trump and Netanyahu https://t.co/Fvfm4fUSed

This market will resolve to "Yes" if credible reports from international nuclear agencies, Iran's government itself, or credible global news sources officially confirm that Iran possesses a nuclear weapon by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.

Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Iran Nuke before 2027?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, the Israeli government officially and unambiguously acknowledges that it possesses nuclear weapons by December 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".  

Leaked documents, anonymous sources, or reports from non-Israeli officials will not alone qualify.

The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. 

Israel confirms it has nuclear weapons in 2025?

On June 13, Iranian leaders announced they no longer plan to engage in nuclear talks with the U.S. that were scheduled to take place in Oman on Sunday (see: https://thehill.com/policy/international/5348689-iran-nuclear-deal-talks-suspended/).

This market will resolve to "Yes" if it is confirmed that official nuclear-related negotiations between the United States and Iran resume at any point on by December 31, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No".

To qualify, the talks must involve official representatives of both governments and focus primarily on nuclear issues, such as uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, IAEA inspections, or the JCPOA. Talks may be direct or mediated, and may occur in person or virtually.

Only the actual resumption of talks will count; announcements that talks have been scheduled to resume will not alone qualify.

Unofficial backchannel communications, general diplomatic meetings not centered on nuclear issues, or one-sided public proposals will not qualify.

The market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting.

Nothing Ever Happens: Nuclear Edition

This market will resolve to "Yes" if both of the following conditions are met by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".


1. The US initiates a military action on Iranian soil, airspace, or maritime territory or against any Iranian embassies or consulates between June 18, and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. 

For the purposes of this market, a "military action" will be considered to be any use of force executed by the US military on Iranian soil, airspace, or maritime territory (e.g. if a weapons depot on Iranian soil is hit by an US missile) that is officially acknowledged by the US government or a consensus of credible reporting. This includes, but is not limited to, airstrikes, naval attacks, or ground invasions. Cyber attacks, sanctions, or diplomatic actions will not count towards the resolution of this market.


2. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s current ruling regime is NOT overthrown, collapsed, or otherwise ceases to govern by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. 

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s current ruling regime will be considered overthrown if a broad consensus of reporting indicating that core structures of the Islamic Republic (e.g. the office of the Supreme Leader, the Guardian Council, IRGC control under clerical authority) have been dissolved, incapacitated, or replaced by a fundamentally different governing system or otherwise lost de facto power over a majority of the population of Iran. This could occur via revolution, civil war, military coup, or voluntary abdication, but only qualifies if the Islamic Republic no longer exercises sovereign power.

Routine political events such as elections, reforms, or leadership succession do not qualify. Internal coups or power shifts that preserve the Islamic Republic’s core structures also do not qualify. Only a clear break in continuity—such as a new provisional government, revolutionary council, or constitution replacing the Islamic Republic will qualify.

Partial loss of territory or challenges from rebel or exile groups will not qualify unless the Islamic Republic no longer administers the majority of the Iranian population within Iran.

The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.

Note: If the Iranian regime falls - as defined above - prior to a qualifying U.S. military action, this market will immediately resolve to "No". 

Will the Iranian regime survive U.S. military strikes?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump and Ali Khamenei speak directly to one another between June 26, 7:00 PM ET, and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Any conversation that occurs directly between Donald Trump and Ali Khamenei will qualify, regardless of whether it is over the phone, videocall, or in person. The conversation must be voice-based, not text-based.

The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the governments of Iran and the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.

Trump x Khamenei talk in 2025? 

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues a new combined license (COL) for the construction and operation of a nuclear power plant by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No."

A combined license must be clearly identified as such and documented in official NRC releases. Only initial issuances count; amendments, renewals, or partial approvals do not qualify. 

The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. 

US grants license for new nuclear reactor in 2025?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if an official agreement on nuclear arms control or strategic nuclear weapons limitation is reached between the United States and the Russian Federation between August 14, 2025 and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.

Only agreements that are publicly announced and acknowledged by both the U.S. and Russia will qualify. The agreement must pertain to nuclear arms control or limitation—such as a treaty, framework, or memorandum—addressing matters including (but not limited to) nuclear warheads, delivery systems, verification mechanisms, or strategic stability.

An extension, amendment, or replacement of the New START treaty will qualify, provided it is publicly announced as a concluded agreement by both parties within the time frame. Exploratory discussions or stated intent to extend without a finalized agreement will not qualify.

Agreements that include both the United States and Russia as named parties—whether bilateral or as part of a broader multilateral framework—will qualify, provided the agreement directly addresses nuclear arms control.

The agreement does not need to be ratified or implemented for this market to resolve "Yes"; a formal announcement of a concluded agreement is sufficient.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government (e.g., the White House, State Department) and/or the Russian Federation (e.g., the Kremlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.

U.S. x Russia Nuclear deal by December 31?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the US conducts a nuclear test by the listed date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A nuclear test is defined as the intentional non-combat detonation of a device by the US that produces a nuclear chain reaction (fission or fusion), regardless of yield.

Accidents, radiological dispersal devices (bombs that spread radioactive material using conventional explosives such as "dirty bombs"), or actions by third parties will not count toward this market's resolution.

Tests not explicitly claimed by US may still qualify if a clear consensus of credible reporting attributes the nuclear detonation to US. For example, an unclaimed nuclear test analogous to the 1979 "Vela Incident" would count if credible reporting attributes it to the US.

The resolution source for this market will be a broad consensus of credible reporting.

Will the U.S. test a nuclear weapon by March 31 2026?

Tehran, the Iranian capital, is experiencing a crisis as a historic drought has led the local water supply to run low. You can read more about that here: https://www.newsweek.com/irans-capital-running-dry-in-historic-water-crisis-10987433.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the national government of Iran, the government of Tehran Province, or the government of Tehran Municipality, including the Tehran City Council, orders a major evacuation of the city of Tehran due to the ongoing water crisis by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. 

A major evacuation order is defined as an official government order mandating or instructing a majority of Tehran’s residents to leave the city.

The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the Iranian government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.

Evacuation of Tehran ordered in 2025?

This market will resolve to “Yes” if active regular US military personnel physically enter Iran for combat operations at any point between June 21, 2025, and December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET.

US military personnel must physically enter the terrestrial territory of Iran to qualify. Entering Iran's maritime or aerial territory will not count.

Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Israeli or Iranian military forces that impact the other party’s ground territory or any official embassy or consulate (e.g., if a weapons depot on Iranian soil is hit by an Israeli missile, or an Israeli air base is hit by an Iranian drone, this market will resolve to "Yes") that is officially acknowledged by the relevant government or a consensus of credible reporting.

Missiles or drones which are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution regardless of whether they land on the opposing party’s territory or cause damage.

Israel x Iran ceasefire broken by March 31, 2026?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Ukraine conducts at least one combat strike using a Tomahawk cruise missiles by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
