45% Odds US Military Will Strike Iran Before July—Markets on High Alert
As of June 17, 2025, at 8 a.m. Eastern time, Israel and Iran remain locked in their fifth straight day of direct military exchange, with both nations continuing missile strikes and air raids. A Polymarket prediction places a 45% probability that the U.S. military will intervene against Iran before July.

Meanwhile, tension in the Middle East runs deep, and prediction markets are alive with speculation. On Kalshi, the U.S.-regulated exchange, a wager totaling $52,999 suggests a 41% likelihood of a U.S.–Iran nuclear agreement this year. That same market puts the odds at 42% for a U.S. delegation meeting Iranian officials before July.

Over on the blockchain-based Polymarket, bettors focus on whether the United States will use force against Iran before July. That wager has drawn $6.59 million in volume and sits at a 45% chance. Only yesterday, at 8 p.m. Eastern on June 16, those odds peaked at 66.9%.

Another Polymarket bet with $1.62 million in volume gives a 51% chance that the U.S. will secure a nuclear accord by year’s end. Its terms specify: “This market will resolve to ‘Yes’ if an official agreement over Iranian nuclear research and/or nuclear weapon development, defined as a publicly announced mutual agreement, is reached between the United States and Iran between Feb. 4 and Dec. 31, 2025.”
Reports indicate President Donald Trump left the G7 summit abruptly to address the crisis, urging an immediate evacuation of Tehran and hinting at a far more sweeping plan than just a cease-fire. Meanwhile, the Chinese embassy in Tel Aviv has advised Chinese citizens to depart Israel at once. Concern is mounting that this confrontation could intensify into a broader regional war, particularly if the United States becomes directly involved.
With diplomatic channels narrowing and markets pricing in geopolitical risk, the next few weeks may serve as a litmus test for American foreign policy under pressure. As military maneuvers collide with probabilistic wagers, the real stakes stretch far beyond percentages—into global stability, economic fallout, and the unpredictable consequences of political brinkmanship in a nuclear-tinged theater.
