Trader consensus prices 5 countries at 33% and 3 at 25%, reflecting confirmed Israeli airstrikes on Syria, Lebanon, and Iran amid the 2026 Iran war that erupted February 28 with joint US-Israeli operations targeting Iranian military sites, nuclear facilities, and leadership. Gaza and West Bank strikes are excluded per market rules, leaving these three as the core amid ongoing proxy conflicts with Hezbollah and militias. Recent US-Iran and Israel-Hezbollah ceasefires since early April have stalled escalation despite Houthi missile barrages from Yemen and Iraqi militia threats, keeping the race tight with eight months remaining. Fragile truces, potential Yemen or Iraq strikes, and warnings of multi-front warfare could push toward 4-6 or stabilize at 3.
