U.S., Iran and regional mediators discuss terms for a possible 45-day ceasefire
Polymarket’s April ceasefire contract briefly rose to 32% before last trading at 28%, as volume topped $95 million and discussions centered on a 45-day truce and a two-stage permanent deal.
Fact Check
The core of the statement is supported by mutually consistent fetched evidence. The Polymarket page at https://polymarket.com/event/us-x-iran-ceasefire-by shows volume of about $95.8 million and the April 30 market at 28%, while also stating that Axios reported discussions of a potential 45-day ceasefire between the U.S., Iran, and regional mediators. The BlockBeats flash titled 调解方正为美伊达成45天停火协议做最后努力 independently repeats that Axios-based claim, and 预测市场对美伊停火预期提高，6月底前停火已成为大概率事件 reports April-end odds rising to 28% with volume around $95.1 million. However, the specific claim that the April ceasefire contract briefly rose to 32% is not directly shown in the fetched Polymarket snapshot, and no directly fetched Axios page or official governmental source was obtained. So the overall claim is likely true in substance, but not fully verified in every numeric detail.

The move adds fresh market-based sentiment to reports that the United States, Iran and regional mediators are discussing a 45-day temporary ceasefire alongside a two-stage framework for a permanent agreement.
