Cryptocurrency bettors are seeing higher chances of the U.S. attacking Iran after the midterms amid President Donald Trump's "candid" phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

What Will Be Trump's Strategy?

Trump and Netanyahu reviewed the status of Iran negotiations and the potential timeline for resuming combat, Axios reported, citing one Israeli and one U.S. source.

The report mentioned that Netanyahu wants Trump to launch a strike against Iran "immediately" after Tuesday's midterm elections, while Trump wants negotiations to continue.

The White House didn't immediately return MarketDash's request for comment.

What Are Prediction Markets Betting On?

The report comes as Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) indicated that Trump may restart military action against Iran after the midterms, based on his classified briefings with the military leadership.

Trump has signaled that the conflict could soon reach an endpoint, either through a deal with Tehran or by ending on its own.

Polygon (CRYPTO: POL)-based Polymarket is currently pricing in a 97% chance that the ceasefire holds through the midterms, though the odds decline steadily after the elections.

Netanyahu, meanwhile, faces a political stalemate after Tuesday's Israeli elections.

His bloc won 53 seats, and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot secured 48, leaving both short of the majority needed to govern the 120-seat Knesset on their own.
