Trump’s declaration against Iran’s nuclear ambitions has pushed down odds on the U.S. obtaining Iranian enriched uranium by May 31. The market sits at 27.5% YES, down from 20% yesterday.

Trump’s hardline stance is dragging related Iran markets lower. US-Iran peace deal by April 22 also fell, now at 29.5% YES. Traders are more skeptical about a quick diplomatic resolution. The April 30 peace deal market is at 42.5%, while the May 31 market is notably higher at 62.5%, meaning traders expect some kind of catalyst in the coming weeks even if near-term odds are falling.

Today’s market saw $35,523 in actual USDC exchanged, with an order book depth of $33,304 needed to shift the price by 5 percentage points. The largest move in the last 24 hours was a modest 2-point spike at 3:07 AM. The market is relatively stable, though thin enough that small trades can still move prices.

Trump’s statement reinforces a hardline U.S. position and makes obtaining enriched uranium from Iran less likely in the near term. A YES share at 27.5¢ pays $1 if the U.S. obtains the material by May 31, a potential 5.13x return. Given the current diplomatic climate, this is an increasingly speculative bet.

Watch for fresh diplomatic initiatives or statements from intermediaries like Pakistan or Oman that could signal progress. Shifts in IAEA verification reports or military developments would also move these markets.
