Polymarket odds of 2-5% indicate extremely low market probabilityRecent negotiations focused on limited measures, not a full enrichment haltIran's historical position of maintaining enrichment rights makes a complete end unlikely

The question asks whether Iran will publicly agree to end all uranium enrichment by June 30, 2026. Polymarket currently prices this at 2% (from one source) and 5% (from another), reflecting very low market belief. Recent U.S.-Iran talks in June 2026 focused on extending a deal and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, not on a complete enrichment halt, and Iran has historically resisted ending enrichment entirely. Given the short remaining time (5 days) and no credible reports of an imminent agreement to end all enrichment, the probability is very low.

Iran's historical stance on uranium enrichmentOngoing geopolitical tensions involving Iran, U.S., and IsraelNo recent credible reports of an official pledge to end enrichment

Given the current geopolitical tensions and Iran's historical reluctance to fully cease uranium enrichment, combined with the lack of recent credible reports indicating a forthcoming official pledge to end all enrichment, the probability remains very low. While diplomatic efforts continue, a full public agreement by June 30, 2026, appears unlikely based on current information.

The requirement for Iran to end all uranium enrichment is a fundamental shift in their long-standing nuclear policy, which they view as a sovereign right and a key strategic asset. Current diplomatic efforts, as noted in [marketahead.com](https://www.marketahead.com/market/iran-agrees-to-end-enrichment-of-uranium-by-june-30), appear focused on caps or temporary limitations rather than a total cessation of enrichment.

The definition requires a complete end to all uranium enrichment, not just limitations or caps.Recent diplomatic efforts in June 2026 focus on de-escalation and stockpile management, not termination of enrichment [marketahead.com](https://www.marketahead.com/market/iran-agrees-to-end-enrichment-of-uranium-by-june-30).Iran's long-standing position views enrichment as a sovereign right, making a full halt politically unlikely.

Iran has consistently maintained its uranium enrichment program as a strategic priority, and recent diplomatic discussions, such as those involving U.S.-backed proposals in June 2026, have focused on limiting enrichment or managing stockpiles rather than ending it entirely [marketahead.com](https://www.marketahead.com/market/iran-agrees-to-end-enrichment-of-uranium-by-june-30). The strict definition of 'Yes' requires a complete end to all enrichment, not partial limits, which raises the bar significantly. Market sentiment varies, with some platforms showing low probabilities (e.g., 2% on Polymarket), indicating limited confidence in a full agreement. Given Iran's historical stance and lack of credible public signals toward total cessation, the likelihood remains very low.

Polymarket price for this specific event is ~7% YES as of late June 2026A related market for Ali Khamenei's removal resolved Yes, but that is a different personNo credible reports of Mojtaba Khamenei being removed, detained, or resigning

Prediction markets currently price this event at 7% (Polymarket) to 1% (for the June 30 outcome in the broader leadership change market). A separate market for Ali Khamenei's removal by June 30 has already resolved 'Yes', but that refers to the former Supreme Leader, not Mojtaba Khamenei. The question specifically targets Mojtaba Khamenei, and there is no credible evidence of his imminent removal or resignation.

Current prediction markets show a very low probability (around 1%) that Mojtaba Khamenei will cease to be the de facto leader by June 30, 2026, with the majority of market participants expecting no leadership change by that date. There is no significant public evidence or credible reports indicating imminent removal or resignation.

Current prediction markets price this at 11-19% YES, with the most recent quote at 11% as of June 2026. While a temporary cease-fire was announced on June 19, 2026, it is explicitly temporary and does not meet the strict criteria for a permanent peace deal. Structural obstaclesโ€”Hezbollah's refusal to disarm, lack of enforcement mechanisms, and an extremely compressed timeline before the June 30 deadlineโ€”make a binding permanent agreement highly unlikely.

Despite recent cease-fire agreements and ongoing diplomatic efforts, the structural and political challenges between Israel and Hezbollah remain significant. Hezbollah's status as a heavily armed non-state actor and the lack of clear enforcement mechanisms for disarmament reduce the likelihood of a permanent peace deal by June 30, 2026.

Based on current market pricing [orrery.me](https://orrery.me/markets/israel-x-hezbollah-permanent-peace-deal-by-june-30-2026) and the absence of formal peace negotiations or credible diplomatic progress, the probability of a permanent peace deal by June 30, 2026, is low.

Multiple prediction markets (Polymarket, WyldMarkets) price this at 2-3% as of late June 2026, reflecting an extremely low likelihood. The definition of 'no longer under Iranian control' requires actual establishment of control by another state or force, explicitly excluding temporary raids, bombardments, or naval presence. Current credible reporting indicates no foreign ground forces are operating on Kharg Island, Iran continues to exercise sovereign control and reinforce defenses, and oil tankers are still loading crude there.

The island's proximity to Iran and strong defenses make a successful occupation unlikely before the June 30 deadline.

The recovery is ongoing but slow, with recent daily transit counts still below the threshold and projections indicating a gradual ramp-up that may not reach the required sustained average in time.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint, and shipping traffic has historically shown resilience despite geopolitical tensions. Recent data from IMF Portwatch indicates that transit volumes have been fluctuating but trending upward, with occasional spikes near or above the 60 threshold for the 7-day moving average. Base rates of recovery after disruptions suggest a strong likelihood of normalization over a multi-year horizon, especially given economic incentives to maintain flow.

Only 5 days left until the resolution date (June 30, 2026).Current 7-day moving average of transit calls is likely far below 60, as indicated by the sharp decline in prediction market prices.Polymarket odds have dropped from 52% to 7-15% over the last month, signaling low confidence in a recovery.

With only 5 days remaining until the June 30 deadline, the 7-day moving average of Strait of Hormuz transit calls would need to rise sharply to reach the 60-ship threshold. Polymarket odds have fallen from 52% to around 7-15% over the past month, reflecting that current traffic remains well below normal levels. A sudden recovery to 60 within such a short window is highly unlikely, though not impossible if a large backlog of vessels transits simultaneously. The low probability is consistent with the market consensus and the limited time for a significant rebound.

Current 7-day average transit calls below 60Geopolitical tensions and stalled negotiations involving IranHistorical baseline for normal traffic is 60 arrivals

Current market data and expert sources indicate a low probability (around 15-20%) that the Strait of Hormuz traffic will return to normal levels (7-day average of 60 or more ship arrivals) by the end of June 2026. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, including fraying ceasefire and stalled Iran talks, reduce the likelihood of rapid normalization. The tight timeline and significant gap between current and pre-conflict traffic levels further support a cautious low estimate.

The current market sentiment and available data suggest that traffic levels in the Strait of Hormuz remain significantly below the threshold required for a 'Yes' resolution. Given that we are approaching the end of June 2026 and there is no indication of a sudden, sustained surge in shipping activity to reach a 7-day moving average of 60, the probability of this occurring in the remaining days is very low.

The current 7-day moving average of transit calls is around 11-12, far below the required 60. Historical data shows a significant drop from pre-conflict levels of 75-125. The World Bank predicts traffic will not return to pre-aggression levels until late 2026, and structural diversions to alternative routes like the Salalah/Sohar landbridge make a rapid recovery unlikely.

Current 7-day moving average of transit calls is approximately 12.Threshold for 'Yes' resolution is a 7-day average of 60 or higher.Ongoing US naval blockade and Iranian restrictions continue to suppress traffic.

Current data shows the 7-day moving average of ship arrivals in the Strait of Hormuz is around 11โ€“12, far below the 60 threshold required for a 'Yes' resolution [manifold.markets](https://manifold.markets/HillaryClinton/strait-of-hormuz-traffic-returns-to-NyzSudIt9R). Pre-conflict levels were 75โ€“125, and recent analysis suggests traffic would need to increase nearly fivefold within a short window to meet the criterion, which is unlikely given ongoing naval blockades and Iranian restrictions [polymarket.com](https://polymarket.com/event/strait-of-hormuz-traffic-returns-to-normal-by-end-of-june). Structural shifts in shipping routes, such as use of landbridges via Salalah and Sohar, reduce the likelihood of rapid reversion. Additionally, the World Bank projects traffic will not return to pre-aggression levels until late 2026, further limiting the chance of a 'Yes' outcome by June 30, 2026.

As of June 25, Bitcoin is at $64,410, about 10.7% above the $57,500 target with only 5 days left in June. Historical base rate for a dip of this magnitude within a month is low (around 11% per some sources), though it can happen during volatile periods.
