Tensions between the US and Iran remain elevated with no active ceasefire negotiations, driven by recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military targets on October 26 that prompted a restrained response from Tehran, avoiding direct escalation. The US has continued strikes against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen and maintained naval deployments in the region amid Red Sea shipping attacks, while enforcing sanctions without diplomatic breakthroughs. President-elect Trump's post-election statements signaling a hardline approach, including potential military action absent a new nuclear deal, have reinforced trader skepticism. A separate Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire on November 27 offers indirect de-escalation potential, but Gaza talks and January 20 inauguration loom as key events that could shift dynamics or harden positions.

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.
