A somewhat ominous post from the official White House X account is suggesting that further escalation may be on the way in Iran:
“Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” –President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com/oniUSgsMWA

Some appear to have taken this to mean that US military action might be coming. Polymarket odds for “US military action against Iran before July” have surged.
Meanwhile Polymarket odds for “Khamenei out as Supreme Leader of Iran in 2025” have also jumped, suggesting that regime change may be the end goal.
