President Trump declared the U.S. will secure Iranian uranium “through cooperation or by another way” and will maintain a blockade if no agreement is reached. The Iran Uranium Enrichment Agreement market sits at 44.5% YES, up from 35% yesterday.

Market reaction

The enrichment agreement market trades $65,707 in face value daily, with $23,824 in actual USDC. A modest $599 can move the odds 5 points, which makes it vulnerable to swings from larger orders.

In the Iran Enriched Uranium market, odds for the U.S. obtaining Iranian uranium by May 31 are at 28.5% YES, down slightly from 20% yesterday. This market sees heavier trading: $174,248 in face value and $35,523 in actual USDC daily. It takes $33,430 to move the market 5 points, meaning it has significant resistance to volatility.

Why it matters

Trump’s “cooperation or by another way” framing narrows the diplomatic window and raises the probability of military escalation. The Iranian Demands Trump Will Agree to in April market, where the likelihood of Trump agreeing to Iranian oil sanction relief sits at 54.5% YES, is extremely thin: a mere $286 moves the odds 5 points, making it susceptible to small trades.

What to watch

Buying YES at 44.5¢ pays $1 if resolved by April 30, a potential 2.56x return. That bet requires believing Iran will make concessions within 14 days. The Islamabad talks and any shifts in U.S. military posture are the two most likely catalysts. A single Trump statement or breakthrough announcement could move these markets sharply.
