The definition of what constitutes breaking the ceasefire is much narrower than the plain question suggests. A wide variety of attacks—including rocket artillery, naval fire, short-range loitering munitions, FPV drones, strikes on maritime territory, and fully intercepted projectiles even if debris causes damage—are explicitly excluded from triggering a negative resolution. Additionally, resolution depends on determining whether an impact was caused by direct munition hits or intercepted debris, which relies on decider judgment synthesizing official military statements from both adversaries alongside broader credible reporting rather than a single definitive authority.

Market explained before close
This market measures whether a ceasefire between Israel and Iran remains in effect through September 30 at 11:59 PM IRST, specifically tracking whether either nation conducts qualifying direct strikes against the other's terrestrial territory.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if a state of ceasefire remains in effect between Israel and Iran through September 30 at 11:59 PM IRST. The market resolves to No if either Israel or Iran conducts a qualifying military action against the other before that deadline. Qualifying military actions are air strikes (bombs, air-to-surface missiles, air-launched drones) or surface-to-surface missile strikes (cruise/ballistic missiles, one-way attack drones) that directly impact the other country's terrestrial territory or internal waters under its de facto control. Actions that do not count include intercepted or destroyed munitions, debris/wreckage from intercepts, surface-to-air missiles, artillery/naval/small-arms fire, ground incursions, cyber operations, and short-range loitering or FPV drones. Resolution is determined by official information from the governments and militaries of Israel and Iran, alongside credible reporting.

Resolution rules at close
This market will resolve to "Yes" if a state of ceasefire remains in effect between Israel and Iran through the listed date, 11:59 PM Iran Standard Time (IRST). Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”. A state of ceasefire will be considered to no longer be in effect between Israel and Iran if either Israel or Iran takes a qualifying military action against the other country between market creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM IRST. A qualifying military action refers to an air strike or a surface-to-surface missile strike, initiated by Israel or Iran, that directly impacts the other country. An air strike includes bombs, air-to-surface missiles, and air-launched drones. A surface-to-surface missile strike includes one-way attack drones and surface-to-surface missiles such as cruise or ballistic missiles. The following actions do not constitute a qualifying military action: Munitions destroyed or intercepted before impact; Surface-to-air missile strikes; Small-arms fire; Ground incursions; Cyber operations; Naval gunfire and artillery fire; Howitzers, artillery pieces, mortars, and rocket artillery (e.g. MLRS systems); Minor surface-to-surface strikes, including short range loitering munitions, FPV drones, and ATGM strikes; Any threat, authorization, or announcement of force that has not been executed. Any munition that is intercepted or destroyed before impact does not constitute a qualifying military action. Debris, fragments, or any wreckage from intercepted munitions that land on Israel or Iran do not constitute a military action regardless of any damage incurred. A military action will be considered to impact Israel or Iran if it directly impacts the terrestrial territory of Israel or Iran, including any internal waters. Maritime territory and airspace are not encompassed. Where territorial borders are disputed, all territory claimed by and under the de facto control of the relevant state as of market creation will qualify. The occurrence, attribution, and timing of a qualifying military action will be primarily determined based on a consensus of information available from the resolution sources. Where multiple sources conflict regarding the occurrence, attribution, or timing of a relevant military action, this market will remain open until the earlier of: i) the confirmation of the occurrence, attribution, and timing of the action based on a consensus of information available from the resolution sources or ii) 3 full calendar days (IRST) from the date of the first credibly reported evidence of the action. If this period would extend past the end date, this market will remain open to allow for 3 full calendar days to pass. If, at the end of the third calendar day, conflicting reports remain as to the occurrence, attribution, or timing of the action, this market will resolve based on the totality of information available from the resolution sources at that time. No single statement, denial, or presentation of evidence will govern where it is contradicted by the totality of information. The resolution sources for this market will be official information from the governments and militaries of Israel and Iran and credible reporting.
