Will the U.S. invade Iran before 2027?

This market is pointed at a very specific threshold... and it's a big one. A US‑initiated military offensive whose purpose is to seize and hold territory that was de facto Iranian as of November 4, 2025, any time before th end of year, December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. However, and pay attention — routine strikes, raids, or limited retaliatory attacks do not automatically qualify. What matters is intent and outcome, an operation aimed at establishing control over some part of Iran’s own pre‑war land, not just hitting assets abroad. Land already under US control as of that November 2025 baseline is treated as US territory.
