The probability of Iran launching military action against a Gulf State on July 15 surged by 32.5 percentage points over the past 24 hours on Polymarket, climbing from 53.0% to 85.5%. This sharp repricing reflects a strong market consensus shift amid active participation by whales, who collectively pushed $3K net into YES contracts.

Notably, the Polymarket Breaking YES price of 85.5% diverges significantly from Polydata’s on-chain mid-price of 24.5%, indicating a possible discrepancy between off-chain and on-chain data or differing liquidity conditions.
The alignment between whale flow and the price move suggests that large traders are confirming the market’s bullish repricing on the likelihood of military action.
