Persistent military exchanges between Israel and Iran, coupled with absent direct US-Iran negotiations, anchor low trader odds for a ceasefire. Israel's October 26 strikes targeted Iranian air defenses after Tehran's October 1 missile attack, prompting US defensive aid to Israel but public calls for restraint from the Biden administration. Iran has signaled potential retaliation while avoiding escalation, amid ongoing proxy clashes like Houthi Red Sea attacks met by US strikes. President-elect Trump's January 20 inauguration looms as a pivotal shift, given his past "maximum pressure" campaign against Tehran. Key upcoming catalysts include UN Security Council debates and any Iranian response, which could sway de-escalation prospects.

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.
