UN official Alexander De Croo warned that disruptions from the US-Israel war on Iran may drive 30 million people into poverty. The market for the Iranian regime falling by June 30 is at 8.5% YES, up from 6% a week ago.

Market reaction

The conflict’s impact on fuel and fertilizer sectors adds pressure on the Iranian regime. The June 30 market moved up as economic strain raised questions about regime stability. The April 30 market remains at 0.8% YES, showing almost no belief in near-term regime change.

Why it matters

The May 31 market sits at 4.4% YES. The spread across these three markets suggests traders expect a drawn-out crisis, with the most concern concentrated around June. The order book is thin: $26K is enough to move odds 5 points, meaning a single large trade could shift prices fast.

The market for crude oil prices by end of June hasn’t recorded activity yet. But major disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which handles a large share of global oil transit, could push oil prices sharply higher. Extended conflict near the strait would change expectations quickly.

What to watch

Economic disruptions could worsen internal dissent in Iran and threaten regime stability. At 8.5¢ a YES share pays $1 if the regime falls by June 30, an 11.7x return. The question is whether economic pressures reach a breaking point for the regime.

Watch for reports of mass protests or IRGC infighting, which would signal growing instability. Announcements of further Strait of Hormuz disruptions or shifts in regional alliances could also move these markets.
