Just 19% of Betting Market Sees US-Iran Permanent Nuclear Deal By End of September as Fighting Resumes

Wednesday July 8, 2026 (8:35 am EDT)

Just 19% of the betting public sees a US-Iran permanent nuclear deal by September 30 while only 39% see this happening by December 31.  US President Donald Trump says the ceasefire deal with Iran is “over”, adds dealing with Tehran is a “waste of time”.  His comments come after the US said it launched “powerful strikes” against Iran following attacks on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz, including Qatari and Saudi tankers.  In response, Iran says it targeted “85 US military installations” over attacks on its Hormozgan province and the port city of Mahshahr, with air raid sirens blaring in Bahrain and Kuwait.
