This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Iran by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, land de facto controlled by Iran or the United States as of November 4, 2025 12:00 PM ET, will be considered the sovereign territory of that country. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible sources.**Ongoing US-Iran tensions center on airstrikes, naval actions, and indirect diplomacy rather than ground invasion.** The conflict began with US-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites in February 2026, followed by Iranian retaliation and repeated cycles of strikes through mid-2026, primarily targeting missile capabilities and Strait of Hormuz shipping. A June memorandum of understanding aimed to de-escalate hostilities, though violations prompted resumed US strikes in July. As of early August 2026, indirect talks via Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan focus on reopening the strait, lifting blockades, and nuclear limits, with both sides exchanging messages amid economic pressure on Iran. US officials have emphasized precision strikes and sanctions over large-scale ground operations, consistent with historical reluctance for regime-change invasions. These patterns of limited military engagement and active mediation underpin trader consensus against a US invasion before 2027.
