Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects low odds for a US-Iran ceasefire, driven primarily by escalating proxy conflicts and direct military exchanges, including Iran's October 1 missile barrage on Israel and Israel's October 26 strikes on Iranian military sites, which Iran downplayed without retaliation. The Biden administration supports Israel's defense while pushing diplomatic restraint, but no direct US-Iran talks are underway amid sanctions and Iran's backing of Hamas and Houthis disrupting Red Sea shipping via US-led strikes. Gaza and Lebanon ceasefires remain stalled despite Qatar-mediated efforts. The November 5 US election outcome could shift policy tones, with potential Israeli operations in southern Lebanon as a key upcoming risk factor for further de-escalation barriers.

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.
