In a recent interview, President Donald Trump asserted that the Iran war is 'very close to being over,' yet skepticism persists among cryptocurrency bettors. According to Polymarket, there is only a 41% chance that Trump will announce the end of military operations against Iran by the end of April, a decrease from 46% the previous day. The likelihood of a resolution by the end of May is higher at 73%, and 83% by June 30. Over $26 million has been wagered on this outcome, making it a significant betting topic. Meanwhile, military tensions are escalating, with reports indicating that the Pentagon is preparing to send over 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East. The current ceasefire is set to expire on April 22, but both parties are considering a two-week extension to facilitate further negotiations. Vice President JD Vance, who represented the U.S. in recent peace talks, noted that a diplomatic breakthrough with Iran is possible if Tehran meets Washington's nuclear requirements. The Iranian regime's Mehr News Agency reported that Iran will assess the outcome of recent talks with a Pakistani delegation before deciding on the next steps in negotiations.
