Senator John Kennedy says President Donald Trump favors daily military strikes on Iran, according to a New York Post report. Market pricing puts the odds of the United States ending the Iranian blockade by July 31, 2026 at 19.5% YES, while the odds of a US-Iran diplomatic meeting in the UAE by September 30, 2026 stand at 0% YES.
President Donald Trump favors daily military strikes on Iran as a strategic approach in the ongoing conflict, Senator John Kennedy said, according to a report by the New York Post. Kennedy's remarks suggest an inclination toward maintaining or increasing pressure on Iran rather than pausing for negotiations.
The conflict has run since February 2026, with the United States and Israel conducting operations against Iran, and it has seen periodic ceasefires, although recent strikes have resumed. Kennedy's statement appears to support a continued aggressive US military stance, which suggests ongoing tensions.
Market pricing indicates a decreased likelihood of the US ending the Iranian blockade by July 31, 2026, with current odds at 19.5% YES. Expectations for a US-Iran diplomatic meeting in the UAE by September 30, 2026 remain low, with odds at 0% YES.
Official statements from Trump or US Central Command on the blockade's status are the next marker to watch. A confirmation that the blockade continues could further impact market pricing. Announcements about diplomatic meetings or shifts in military strategy may indicate potential changes in market expectations for US-Iran relations.
