US-Iran Final Nuclear Deal by…?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: August 31 at about a 7% chance.
The field is extremely thin, with only two candidates above 0% and a combined top-3 sum of just 7%, reflecting deep pessimism after the White House signaled a new precondition—Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords—and the WSJ reported the administration is increasingly pessimistic about clinching a deal.
📊 Base rate: Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, no comprehensive US-Iran nuclear deal has been finalized; the 2015 JCPOA was a multilateral interim agreement that collapsed by 2018, giving a base rate near 0% for a final deal in any given year.
What's driving it
- • The White House briefing on July 23 introduced a new precondition—Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords—which adds a major diplomatic hurdle beyond US-Iran talks (PBS, Jul 23).
- • The WSJ reported on July 10 that the Trump administration is increasingly pessimistic about clinching a deal, directly lowering expectations for any near-term agreement.
- • A dispute over nuclear inspections, highlighted by AP on June 24, shows the US and Iran are negotiating in public, reducing the likelihood of a quiet breakthrough before August 31.
Why the front-runners lead
- • The August 31 candidate leads at 7% because it is the next concrete deadline after the interim deal signed in June, which granted UN access to nuclear sites (CNBC, Jun 26) and keeps a narrow window open for a final agreement.
- • The June 30 candidate is at 0% because that date has already passed without a deal, confirming the market's view that a final deal is unlikely in the short term.
Why it's still open
- • No candidate above 5% except August 31 at 7% means the field is essentially betting against any deal by these dates, with 93% probability assigned to no deal by August 31.
- • A deal could overtake the current odds only if the US drops the Saudi precondition or if Iran makes a surprise concession on inspections, but no headline suggests either is imminent.
What to watch
- • The next White House briefing or statement on Iran, expected before August 31, could shift odds up if the administration signals flexibility on the Saudi precondition, or down if it reiterates pessimism.
- • The UN nuclear watchdog's next quarterly report, due in late August, will detail Iran's compliance with the interim deal; a positive report would boost the August 31 candidate, while a negative one would crush it.
- • Any public statement from Supreme Leader Khamenei rejecting the Abraham Accords linkage would likely push the August 31 probability below 5%.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination field is exceptionally fragmented, with no candidate above 5% and the top three sum to just 1% — a sign that the race is truly wide open and still in its earliest jockeying phase, despite a recent poll placing Senator JD Vance near the top of a generic primary ballot (USA Today, Jul 23).

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
