Israel x Iran permanent peace deal by...? Odds & Prediction Markets

Markets often price in lower probabilities for major breakthroughs like Israel-Iran peace deals, as they require sustained political will and resolution of deep-rooted conflicts. Comparing the two reveals whether the public is more optimistic than informed traders betting their capital.
