U.S. CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper has urged renewed military action against Iran's infrastructure during a visit to Israel, according to Israel's Channel 13. The push comes during a fragile de-escalation phase in the 2026 Iran war and complicates efforts toward a ceasefire. Prediction markets now price a US-Iran deal in 2026 at 25% or lower.
Adm. Brad Cooper, the U.S. CENTCOM commander, pushed for renewed strikes on Iran's infrastructure during a visit to Israel, according to Israel's Channel 13. The United States and Israel have already carried out strikes against Iran, and Cooper's call comes during a fragile de-escalation phase in the 2026 Iran war.
The renewed push for military action complicates negotiations aimed at a ceasefire or a broader agreement, as infrastructure targeting could undermine diplomatic efforts. Prediction markets have responded: pricing for a US-Iran deal in 2026 has fallen, with YES outcomes priced at 25% or lower across various scenarios, reflecting reduced odds of a negotiated outcome.
Observers should watch for official statements from the US and Israeli governments on further military action in the coming days. Diplomatic moves from mediators including Qatar and Pakistan will also signal whether current market pricing still matches the situation on the ground.
