U.S. x Iran Military Engagement by June 30, 2026?

Analysis

All 8 agents independently arrived at exactly 99% probability with high confidence (0.93-0.99). Every agent found the same overwhelming evidence: Operation Epic Fury began February 28, 2026 with joint US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran, over 8,000 US military targets struck, Iranian retaliatory missile attacks on US bases, confirmed US casualties, and ongoing escalation as of March 22, 2026. This is not a borderline case - it is a full-scale war that far exceeds the market's threshold of 'any incident involving the use of force such as missile strikes.' The market has been at 100% for the entire 7-day price history. The only anomaly is the sibling market for March 31 resolution at 32%, which multiple agents flagged but could not explain - it likely reflects different resolution criteria or a market anomaly rather than genuine doubt about the underlying military engagement. Given the market is already at 100% and my estimate is 99%, there is zero edge to trade. The 1% I withhold is purely for theoretical resolution technicalities (market creation timing, adjudication disputes). No profitable trade exists here.

Key Evidence

Full-scale US-Iran war began February 28, 2026 (Operation Epic Fury) with 8,000+ US strikes on Iranian targets and Iranian ballistic missile retaliation on US bases - confirmed by CENTCOM, Wikipedia, CNN, Reuters, Al Jazeera, and multiple independent sources. This unambiguously meets the market's definition of military engagement.

Risks

The sibling market (March 31 resolution) at only 32% is puzzling and could indicate a resolution technicality, market creation timing issue, or adjudication risk that all agents may be overlooking. However, this likely reflects a different market structure rather than doubt about the underlying events.
