Trader consensus prices a slim chance of US ground forces entering Iran, driven by Washington's policy of defensive support for Israel amid October's tit-for-tat strikes—Israel hit Iranian military sites on October 26 after Tehran's missile barrage, with US assets aiding intercepts but no offensive role.

Heightened risks from Iranian proxies like Hezbollah persist, but Biden administration restraint holds. Key catalysts ahead: potential Tehran retaliation and the November 5 US presidential election, where candidates differ on Iran deterrence strategies.
