Mohsen Rezaei, a senior Iranian official, threatened US warships in the Strait of Hormuz. The market for Iran striking Israel by April 30, 2026, sits at 100% YES.

Rezaei’s rhetoric has not moved any prices because the market already priced in maximum escalation. All related sub-markets for April 30 are at 100% YES. Trump’s military operations against Iran may see a reduced likelihood of ending, as market sentiment reflects ongoing hostilities.

The “Countries Sending Warships through Hormuz” market holds at 10% YES, unchanged. Rezaei’s threat hasn’t shifted international naval strategies. The UK, France, and other nations appear to be waiting for concrete actions before reconsidering their naval movements through the Strait.

The “Iran Military Action” market shows no trading activity, consistent with a consensus that further Iranian strikes are a foregone conclusion. The “Countries Sending Warships through Hormuz” market, by contrast, has volume at $2,616 in daily USDC traded, with $1,088 required to shift odds by 5 points. That market remains responsive to new information.

Rezaei’s statement fits the existing pattern of the conflict, with little room for immediate de-escalation. A YES share in the Iran strike markets is priced at certainty, offering no speculative upside. The question now is whether actual military engagements create new markets or reopen existing ones.

Watch for Pentagon briefings confirming Iranian strikes or US retaliatory measures. These could be the first real catalyst for movement in otherwise frozen markets.
