🗂 Part of event: US announces withdrawal from MOU negotiations by...? →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 2% chance — almost no chance.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 2% right now.
Despite Iran's withdrawal from the MOU and continued blockade, the market overwhelmingly expects the US to not formally announce its own withdrawal by the July 31 deadline, reflecting a belief that Washington will avoid unilateral escalation and let the framework lapse quietly.
What's driving it
- • Iran's withdrawal from the deal on July 15 (NDTV) reduces the necessity for a US withdrawal announcement, as the framework is already broken.
- • Iran's continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz (Marine Insight, Jul 15) signals ongoing hostility, but the US has not responded with a withdrawal threat, keeping the No probability high.
- • The 7-day drop of 16 points in Yes probability indicates a consistent trend of diminishing expectations, likely due to the absence of any US signals of withdrawal.
The case for YES
- • Iran's withdrawal from the deal (NDTV, Jul 15) could prompt the US to formally exit as well, to avoid being left in a lopsided framework.
- • The continued blockade of Hormuz (Marine Insight, Jul 15) may push the US to withdraw as a show of force or frustration.
- • The 7-day drop in Yes probability might be overdone, and a last-minute announcement remains possible given the volatile situation.
The case for NO
- • Despite Iran's withdrawal and blockade, the US has not issued any withdrawal threat, and the odds have steadily dropped, indicating market confidence in No.
- • The US likely views the MOU as a useful diplomatic channel even if Iran has walked away, and a formal withdrawal would close that door.
- • The 98% No probability suggests the market sees virtually no chance of a US announcement, consistent with the lack of any preparatory moves.
What to watch
- • The July 31 deadline itself is a catalyst: if no announcement is made by the final days, the No probability will solidify further (likely direction: No).
- • A new Iranian provocation, such as an attack on US assets or an escalation of the Hormuz blockade, could increase the chance of a US withdrawal announcement (likely direction: Yes).
- • Any official US statement reaffirming commitment to the MOU negotiations would further decrease Yes probability (likely direction: No).

Resolution criteria
On June 14, 2026, the United States and Iran announced a memorandum of understanding ending the immediate conflict and establishing a 60-day framework for negotiating a final agreement. This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States government, or an authorized representative of the United States government, publicly and officially announces its termination of participation in the negotiation process toward the final agreement contemplated by the June 14, 2026 MOU between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." A termination means a definitive end to the United States' participation in the negotiation process as a whole. A temporary suspension, pause, or adjournment of negotiations, however open-ended or indefinite, does not constitute a termination unless it is itself clearly and unambiguously framed as a definitive end to participation. A conditional withdrawal, in which the United States announces it is ending participation subject to or contingent on any future event or condition, does not constitute termination. A qualifying announcement must be a declarative statement of the United States government's present termination of participation in the negotiation process, previously-unannounced prior termination of participation in the negotiation process, or definitive decision to terminate participation in the negotiation process. A qualifying announcement must clearly and unambiguously identify the United States' termination of participation in the negotiation process. Statements that merely allude to, reference, or describe such termination, without clearly communicating it, do not qualify. The announcement need not use specific terminology or reference the MOU or the negotiation process by name; an announcement of a resumption of prior obligations, the maintenance of a status quo, or a return to a previously agreed baseline qualifies, provided the substantive policy of termination of the negotiation process is clearly and unambiguously communicated. A qualifying announcement must be made through official channels, by an individual acting in an official capacity. Statements made incidentally or informally in a context not intended for official communication do not qualify. The following do not qualify: - Anonymous, unattributed, or leaked statements not confirmed as official; - Statements by persons not authorized to speak for the United States government; - Third-party speculation, analysis, or predictions that the United States government will announce or terminate participation in negotiations; - Satirical, fabricated, hacked, or impersonated communications; - Statements that describe a prospective, contingent, probable, or conditional termination rather than announcing a present and decided position; - Walkouts, boycotts, or refusals to attend a specific meeting that do not clearly announce a termination of the overall negotiation process; and - Indirect communications through mediators that do not constitute a direct official announcement from the United States. Once a qualifying announcement is made, this market will resolve to "Yes" regardless of whether it is later reversed, or whether the United States actually ceases participation in negotiations. Resolution will be based on official information from the United States government, including the President, the Department of State, and the National Security Council, or the official representatives of the United States government.
