88% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2026-11-04.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 97% — Direct US strikes on Iranian soil require catastrophic provocation that rarely occurs within a narrow 24-day window. Only 24 days remain until the November 3 deadline, creating a very narrow timeframe for major escalation. The US has consistently avoided direct kinetic strikes on Iranian territory for decades, preferring regional proxy targets. A direct strike before midterms would require an unprecedented Iranian mass-casualty attack on US assets that breaks all deterrence.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 87% — Holds unless a new flashpoint (nuclear escalation, proxy attack on US forces) triggers renewed US strikes before Nov 3, 2026. Ceasefire since mid-2025 has persisted over a year with no confirmed direct US strikes on Iranian territory since then. Both sides have incentives to avoid reigniting conflict ahead of US midterms and amid ongoing nuclear diplomacy/sanctions tracks. Main risk: Iranian proxy attacks on US troops in Iraq/Syria or a nuclear breakout moment could prompt a sudden US strike.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 92% — It turns chiefly on whether a new Iran-linked escalation compels a pre-election U.S. strike within 25 days. Washington would need to authorize an overt strike on Iranian soil before Nov. 3, a high-threshold move absent an immediate trigger. Short ceasefires often hold over weeks; direct U.S. attacks on Iran are far rarer than strikes on proxies or interceptions. A deadly Iranian attack on U.S. forces, or a nuclear-site crisis, would sharply lower this estimate.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 78% — Whether Iran or proxies launch a major attack forcing a US strike in the next 24 days. US decision-makers have little incentive to initiate unprovoked strikes this close to the 3 Nov midterms. Post-ceasefire US-Iran pauses have typically held for weeks absent a large kinetic provocation. A successful Iranian or proxy strike on US/Israeli assets would most shift the odds.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 88% — Only 24 days remain, and no US strike on Iran has occurred despite months of friction, so the clock is the main ally of Yes. The US would have to launch a new air or missile strike on Iranian soil within 24 days, a decision requiring Trump's explicit authorization. Any strike needs a triggering Iranian attack or nuclear breakout; the June 2025 Israel-Iran ceasefire and ongoing talks have kept the US in a supporting role. Base rate for US strikes on Iran in any given 24-day window is very low; only the June 2025 B-2 strikes on Fordow/Natanz/Isfahan break it.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 82% — Depends on whether any escalation cycle in the next 24 days triggers a US strike on Iranian soil. The US struck Iran in June 2025 (Operation Midnight Hammer) but has since avoided follow-up strikes despite ongoing tensions, suggesting a strong preference for… A 24-day window is short; the administration would need a major provocation (e.g., Iranian attack on US forces or a nuclear breakout declaration) to reverse course, and… If Iran were to conduct a provocative act—such as a drone attack on a US base in Iraq or a confirmed dash toward a weapon—that probability would spike sharply; absent…
