Iran warns of “regret-inducing response” to enemy missteps

Iran’s National Security Commission warns of a “deterrent and regret-inducing response” to any enemy misstep. The market for Iran striking Israel by April 30 is at 100%.

Traders treat an Iranian military action as a foregone conclusion. All sub-markets within the Iran Military Action Against Others event are priced at 100% YES, a unanimous expectation of conflict before resolution. With six days left, the price has nowhere to go unless a concrete de-escalation event occurs.

The market for another country conducting military action against Iran by April 30 is at 1.2% YES, down from 4% yesterday. Depth is $720, thin enough that a single large order could move the price meaningfully. Traders assign almost no probability to foreign powers engaging Iran directly before the deadline.

For traders, the Iranian military action market has no upside at current levels. A contrarian bet on de-escalation is the only speculative play: buying NO shares on Iran striking Israel at 100% requires belief in a swift diplomatic breakthrough, whether through international mediation or an unexpected ceasefire declaration.

Watch for statements from Iranian military leaders or regional actors like Israel and the UAE. Any sign of diplomatic engagement or military restraint could shift odds fast. UNSC emergency meetings and new sanctions are the other triggers that could alter strategic calculations before April 30.
