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.President Trump stated today that U.S. military operations in Iran could conclude within two to three weeks, with or without a deal, signaling de-escalation after U.S.-Israeli airstrikes initiated the conflict on February 28, 2026. Recent Iranian attacks on oil tankers and rejection of full U.S. demands have prolonged tensions, particularly over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while NATO allies like Spain, Italy, and France denied basing and airspace access, drawing Trump's criticism of their "unhelpful" stance. No formal congressional declaration of war has occurred, as presidents typically authorize airstrikes and limited actions via executive powers; traders monitor Trump's planned national address and diplomatic breakthroughs for shifts in escalation risks before the market deadline.
