Iran proposes reopening Strait of Hormuz amid sovereignty talks with Putin

Putin’s recent contact with Iran’s new Ayatollah and remarks to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi frame Iran as “fighting for its sovereignty.” This coincides with Iran’s fresh proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and potentially end the conflict. The “US x Iran permanent peace deal by April 22, 2026” market has no significant volume.

The latest diplomatic overture, facilitated by Pakistani intermediaries, points toward possible de-escalation, but the market for a permanent peace deal has no active trades. Resolution sits a year away, giving traders time to assess Iran’s two-stage proposal and its effect on long-term peace prospects. The market for diplomatic meetings with Iran by April 30 is at 0.7% YES, a price that reflects deep skepticism about imminent US-Iran talks.

Trading volume in these markets is minimal. Actual USDC trade for diplomatic meetings is at $2,451. It would take $972 to shift odds by 5 percentage points, which signals limited liquidity. The largest recent price move, a 1-point drop, shows traders are unconvinced by current diplomatic signals.

Without immediate US engagement, the near-term impact of this development is capped. For traders, buying YES at 1¢ is a high-risk, high-reward position with a 143x return if diplomatic meetings happen by April 30. That bet requires swift US movement toward negotiations, which there is currently no sign of.

Watch for official US reactions to Iran’s proposal. Any indication of US willingness to engage could shift odds fast. Key signals: public statements from Trump or Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, or news of US diplomatic envoys traveling to Islamabad.
