Will the US agree to a new Iranian nuclear deal this year?
🗂 Part of event: US-Iran nuclear deal? →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 4% chance — almost no chance.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 4% right now.
Despite a June 2026 agreement between the US and Iran being widely reported as a deal, the market assigns only a 4% chance it qualifies as a 'new Iranian nuclear deal' by September 1, likely because the agreement focuses on ending the war rather than nuclear restrictions, or because it has already unraveled.
What's driving it
- • The June 14 PBS report of a 'deal to end Iran war' and a naval blockade halt suggests the agreement is primarily a ceasefire, not a nuclear deal, depressing Yes odds (PBS, Jun 14).
- • Headlines comparing Trump's 'memo of understanding' to the Obama nuclear deal (CBS, Jun 17) imply the current document is less formal and may not meet the market's definition of a 'new Iranian nuclear deal'.
- • The 4% odds reflect market skepticism that the June agreement will be finalized or recognized as a nuclear deal by the Sep 1 deadline, given no subsequent confirmation of nuclear terms.
The case for YES
- • The New York Times (Jun 20) published a detailed look at the 'text of the agreement,' indicating a formal document exists that could include nuclear provisions.
- • Time Magazine (Jun 19) described a '60-day test' period, suggesting the deal has a structured implementation phase that could lead to a nuclear agreement by September.
- • CBS News (Jun 17) explicitly compared the Trump memo to the Obama nuclear deal, implying the current agreement is a nuclear deal in substance.
The case for NO
- • The PBS headline (Jun 14) explicitly says 'deal to end Iran war' and 'stop naval blockade,' not a nuclear deal, making it unlikely to resolve Yes.
- • Al Jazeera (Jun 16) notes that US-Iran ties soured under Trump, suggesting any agreement is fragile and may not hold as a nuclear deal.
- • The market's 96% No odds indicate that traders view the June agreement as a temporary ceasefire or a non-nuclear accord that will not meet the resolution criteria.
What to watch
- • Any official statement from the US or Iran explicitly calling the agreement a 'nuclear deal' would sharply increase Yes odds.
- • If the 60-day test period (Time, Jun 19) ends with a formal nuclear agreement by late August, Yes odds would rise.
- • A breakdown of the ceasefire or renewed hostilities before Sep 1 would push odds further toward No.

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).

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.
