President Trump threatened to "annihilate" the Iranian regime unless it enters negotiations, escalating U.S. rhetoric during a United Nations address amid nearly seven months of hostilities.

Prediction-market pricing now places the chance of a U.S.-Iran deal at 12.5% YES, down from higher levels, while participants also see reduced odds of Iran accepting reconstruction funding terms. Observers are watching for Iranian retaliation, further military action, or diplomatic initiatives from mediators in Qatar and Pakistan, as any change in either side's position could shift market pricing.
