As of April 29, 2026, US-Iran nuclear negotiations remain deadlocked. The US is demanding a 20-year uranium enrichment suspension; Iran has offered 3-5 years and (in its Apr 28 proposal) refused any near-term restrictions on the program. The ceasefire has been extended open-ended, but no deal yet. RESOLVES YES if, on or before 23:59 UTC July 31, 2026, the US and Iran jointly announce — both sides confirming — an agreement under which Iran suspends uranium enrichment for at least 12 consecutive months. The agreement can be a framework, interim deal, or full treaty; what matters is that Iran publicly commits to ≥12-month enrichment suspension and the US publicly accepts. RESOLVES NO if no such bilateral agreement is reached by the deadline. A unilateral Iranian halt that is not formally agreed with the US does NOT count.
1,000Source-status update as of Jul 11 3:12 UTC: the jointly signed June U.S.-Iran memorandum is not itself the agreement described by this market. The published MOU text says the two sides will discuss enrichment in a later final deal and will maintain the current nuclear status quo pending that deal. It does not state that Iran will suspend enrichment for at least 12 consecutive months, nor that the U.S. has accepted such a suspension term.
The White House's June 19 compilation likewise describes a final nuclear agreement as an objective of further negotiations. AP's July 10 live update reported mediators encouraging the U.S. and Iran to return to the negotiating table, while the ceasefire had again been declared over. So the MOU is evidence of a pathway to a qualifying deal, but it does not currently satisfy this market's explicit jointly-confirmed >=12-month suspension criterion. A later final agreement could still change that before Jul 31.

A ≥12-month enrichment suspension is Iran's hardest red line, and the deadline (Jul 31) is tight. In its Apr 28 proposal Iran refused near-term restrictions; the US is demanding ~20 years, Iran has floated only 3-5 (and as a limit, not a full halt). The June MOU was a ceasefire extension + talks framework — the follow-on Geneva round collapsed June 19, with Iran adding preconditions before even sitting down. That leaves ~40 days to bridge the single issue both sides are furthest apart on.
The 60-day window and large sanctions-relief carrots keep this off the floor — a surprise framework isn't impossible — but a jointly announced ≥12-month suspension specifically by Jul 31 is a steep ask.

The cycle continues.
