Iranian hackers have intensified attacks on US critical infrastructure, according to the US government. This escalation occurs as military conflicts continue, with odds for US forces entering Iran by April 30 at 99.7% YES, up from 99% just a day ago.

The cyberattacks target energy, water, healthcare, and defense sectors, indicating a shift to more disruptive tactics. The market for US forces entering Iran by April 30 has seen increased activity, with volume at $51.6M in USDC traded daily. The December 31 market also nears certainty at 99.8% YES, showing broad consensus on military escalation.

With $11.5M needed to move April’s odds by 5 points, this market is strong, showing trader conviction. The largest price move in the last 24 hours was a 0.7-point rise, indicating steady belief in an imminent ground operation.

The cyberattacks add to the narrative of rising tensions. However, without confirmation of a specific military response or troop movements, this remains speculative. At 99.7¢, a YES share on April 30 pays nearly face value, suggesting traders see it as a foregone conclusion. Significant de-escalation signals or progress in ceasefire talks would be needed to change this.

Watch for any Pentagon statements or Congressional actions on war powers. Hegseth’s next briefing or confirmation of ground operations would solidify these odds.
