Israel x Iran ceasefire continues through July 31?

Analysis

US forces have struck Iran on consecutive nights, and Iran is hitting back at American bases and commercial shipping in the Gulf. That conflict is live and loud. Israel sits outside that specific exchange. It is running operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and watching Washington do the heavy lifting against Iranian military infrastructure. Iran, fully committed to countering American airpower and naval pressure, has no capacity to open a second front against Israel as well. That bilateral quiet is precisely what this market resolves on. The resolution rules are narrow by design. Intercepted missiles, proxy skirmishes, cyber operations, and debris do not count. Only a confirmed air or surface-to-surface strike that actually lands on the other country's territory changes the outcome. Five days is a short window. Short enough that inertia alone is a powerful force. Neither side has publicly signalled readiness to directly escalate against the other. The earlier resolution dates in this series have already settled quietly, and the logic that held through those days has not changed. The honest caveat: Israel has been weighing whether to use the cover of ongoing American strikes to hit Iranian nuclear or military sites. That decision, made in Jerusalem, is the one variable that ends this overnight. The thing to watch: any Israeli Air Force movement toward eastern airspace.
