President Trump has directed intensified economic pressure on Iran following the collapse of a June 2026 memorandum of understanding aimed at sanctions relief and de-escalation. After the 60-day negotiation window expired without a final agreement, the administration launched Operation Economic Outcast in late August 2026, expanding secondary sanctions under existing authorities to five key sectors—digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping—while designating nearly 60 entities tied to oil smuggling, missile programs, and cyber activities. This builds on an earlier February 2026 executive order imposing tariffs on countries trading with Iran and aligns with the shift back to maximum-pressure tactics amid ongoing Strait of Hormuz tensions. Traders assess the likelihood of a new dedicated executive order based on whether these measures require fresh legal authorities or further escalation before any potential diplomatic reset.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump signs or issues an executive order, proclamation, or memorandum authorizing or ordering new sanctions on Iran by September 15, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Sanctions are official government measures that restrict economic activity, financial transactions, trade, travel, or diplomatic engagement with Iran. Qualifying sanctions include comprehensive economic embargoes restricting most trade and financial transactions; sectoral sanctions targeting specific industries (e.g., energy, finance, defense, or technology); asset freezes and blocking of property owned by Iran or Iranian citizens; trade restrictions including export controls, import bans, or tariffs imposed explicitly as sanctions; financial sanctions including restrictions on banking relationships, access to financial systems, or international lending; travel bans and visa restrictions; and arms embargoes.
Secondary sanctions against third-party countries or entities designated for dealings with Iran will qualify. The expansion in scope of previously existing sanctions against Iran will qualify; however, the renewal of existing sanctions without modification will not qualify.
The following will not qualify: the non-renewal or expiration of licenses or other sanction-exemptions; the designation of new specific entities to be sanctioned under an existing rule absent new sanctions; and enforcement settlements or civil penalties for past conduct.
The passage of an official act/executive order authorizing sanctions on Iran within this market's timeframe will qualify for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of when the sanctions come into effect.
The primary resolution source will be official information from the government of the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump signs or issues an executive order, proclamation, or memorandum authorizing or ordering new sanctions on Iran by September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.
