Tensions between the US and Iran center on proxy conflicts involving Iran-backed groups like the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon, rather than direct hostilities that would necessitate a formal ceasefire. The dominant recent driver remains Israel's October 26 airstrikes on Iranian military facilities—retaliation for Tehran's October 1 missile attack—with the US providing intelligence and defensive aid while publicly discouraging wider escalation. US naval operations continue against Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, prompting Iranian condemnations but no direct retaliation. Indirect nuclear talks via Oman stalled amid IAEA reports of Iran's near-weapons-grade uranium enrichment. Incoming Trump administration signals, including potential "maximum pressure" sanctions and strikes, further dim de-escalation prospects before any resolution date, though surprise diplomatic breakthroughs remain possible.

For the purposes of this market, an “official ceasefire agreement” requires clear public confirmation from both the United States government and the government of Iran that they have agreed to halt military hostilities against one another.
If the agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of whether the ceasefire officially takes effect after the resolution date.
Any form of informal understanding, backchannel communication, de-escalation without an announced agreement, or unilateral pause in hostilities will not be considered an official ceasefire. Humanitarian pauses, limited operational pauses, or temporary tactical stand-downs will not count toward the resolution of this market.
A broader peace deal, normalization agreement, or political framework will qualify only if it includes a publicly announced and mutually agreed halt in military engagement between the United States and Iran, effective on a specified date, or otherwise confirmed by an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting. Agreements that outline future negotiations or de-escalation measures without an explicit, dated commitment to stop fighting will not qualify.
This market’s resolution will be based on official statements from the United States government and the government of Iran. However, a wide consensus of credible media reporting confirming that an official ceasefire agreement has been reached will suffice.
