U.S.-Iran Deal Text Expected by June 30: Polymarket Holds Near-Certain Odds Despite Israel–Lebanon Withdrawal Dispute
Talks over a tentative U.S.-Iran agreement to end the war ran into fresh friction after Iran’s foreign minister said any deal must include an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. On Polymarket, traders nevertheless priced a near-certain chance that the text of the U.S.-Iran deal will be released by June 30.
Key Takeaways
- Polymarket’s leading line implies a 98.25% chance the deal text is released by June 30.
- Odds firmed after new public disputes surfaced over what the tentative agreement requires, even as the text itself remains unpublished.
- The contract is set to resolve by 2026-07-01 03:59 UTC; the June 30 rung carries the highest implied probability.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Tuesday that any tentative deal to end the war with the United States would require Israel to withdraw from territory it seized in southern Lebanon, a condition Israel has already rejected. The agreement between the U.S. and Iran has not been made public, and officials have offered conflicting descriptions of what it contains, including whether it calls for Israeli withdrawal. A U.S. official speaking anonymously said the deal does not include such a provision, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would remain in Lebanon “as long as necessary.” Switzerland’s foreign ministry said a signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday at the Bürgenstock resort near Luzern. The war has also left the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut, raising the stakes for a durable settlement.
