President Trump stated that Israel is now “prohibited by the USA” from bombing Lebanon. The US-Iran permanent peace deal by April 22 market sits at 38.5% YES, up from 12% a week ago.

Trump’s declaration moved the US-Iran permanent peace deal market, where the April 22 sub-market now shows 38.5% YES, a 2.5-point increase over the past week. The April 30 and May 31 markets are priced at 54.5% and 69.5% YES, respectively. The biggest jump is between April 30 and May 31, suggesting traders expect a specific catalyst during that window.

On the Israel-Lebanon front, Trump’s prohibition on Israeli airstrikes raises the pressure for a diplomatic path. The Israel x Lebanon diplomatic meeting market has April 30 odds at 100% YES, meaning traders treat a diplomatic meeting by then as a certainty.

The US-Iran peace deal market trades $711,138 in daily USDC volume. Depth to move the April 22 price 5 points is $16,312, a relatively thick order book. A notable 4-point spike at 12:18 AM shows how a single well-timed order can shift the price, a sign of the market’s sensitivity to new information.

Trump’s statements represent a turn toward diplomacy and possible progress in nuclear talks with Iran. But a permanent peace deal by April 22 is still a long shot at 38.5%. A YES share at 38.5¢ pays $1 if it resolves, a 6x return. To justify that bet, you’d need to believe the US and Iran announce a breakthrough within six days.

Watch for official statements confirming joint US-Iran initiatives or details on Israel-Lebanon talks. A scheduled meeting or confirmed diplomatic breakthrough would move these markets fast.
