This market will resolve to "Yes" if President Donald Trump or an official representative of his administration (such as the White House Press Secretary, National Security Advisor, or Secretary of Defense) issues a formal public statement declaring that the United States is at war with Iran by the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The statement must clearly and explicitly use language equivalent to a declaration of war—for example, stating that "the United States is now at war with Iran" or "we are declaring war on Iran." General statements about military action, retaliation, force, or operations will not qualify unless they include an unambiguous declaration of war. Executive orders or official memoranda may qualify only if they contain clear language declaring war. The primary resolution source will be official government communications, including White House press releases, presidential speeches, or public statements by senior administration officials; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.This market will resolve to "Yes" if President Donald Trump or an official representative of his administration (such as the White House Press Secretary, National Security Advisor, or Secretary of Defense) issues a formal public statement declaring that the United States is at war with Iran by the specified date (ET).

Trader sentiment on Trump declaring war on Iran remains low, driven by persistent Middle East tensions without concrete escalation signals from the president-elect. Israel's October strikes on Iranian military sites prompted a limited retaliation from Tehran, while Trump's Truth Social posts warned Iran against nuclear pursuits or attacks on U.S. assets, emphasizing deal-making over conflict. Formal war declarations, last issued in World War II, require congressional authorization amid political divisions. No primary sources confirm such plans; traders weigh hawkish rhetoric against diplomatic off-ramps like stalled nuclear talks. Key upcoming events include Trump's January 20, 2025, inauguration and potential proxy flare-ups involving Houthis or Hezbollah.
