. We need to preserve HTML structure. Meta description also needs translation. Let's translate step by step. Title: "Polymarket relève les probabilités d'invasion des États-Unis en Iran à 22,5 % après des informations de frappes dans le Golfe" but careful: "US-Iran invasion" means invasion of Iran by US, so "invasion des États-Unis en Iran" or "invasion américaine de l'Iran". Better: "Polymarket augmente la probabilité d'une invasion américaine de l'Iran à 22,5 % après des informations de frappes dans le Golfe". Or "Polymarket relève les chances d'une invasion des États-Unis en Iran à 22,5 %". I'll go with: "Polymarket augmente la probabilité d'une invasion américaine de l'Iran à 22,5 % après des informations de frappes dans le Golfe". Content: First paragraph: "Polymarket, the decentralized prediction market, now gives a 22.5% chance of a US invasion of Iran. The jump came after overnight reports that Iran fired missiles and drones across parts of the Gulf, escalating a weeks-long standoff." Translation: "Polymarket, le marché de prédiction décentralisé, donne désormais une probabilité de 22,5 % d'une invasion américaine de l'Iran. Cette hausse fait suite à des informations nocturnes selon lesquelles l'Iran a tiré des missiles et des drones à travers certaines parties du Golfe, intensifiant une impasse qui dure depuis des semaines." Note: "overnight reports" can be "informations de la nuit" or "rapports nocturnes". I'll use "informations nocturnes". "weeks-long standoff" -> "impasse qui dure depuis des semaines". Second paragraph: "Before the reports, the market sat at roughly 15%. The 7.5-point increase in a single day reflects how quickly traders reprice risk after unverified strike data." Wait, the original says: "Before the reports, the market sat at roughly 15%." Actually original: "Before the reports, the market sat at roughly 15%." But the original article says: "Before the reports, the market sat at roughly 15%." No, the original says: "The 7.5-point increase in a single day reflects how quickly traders reprice risk after unverified strike data." Actually the original paragraph: "The jump came after overnight reports that Iran fired missiles and drones across parts of the Gulf, escalating a weeks-long standoff." Then second paragraph: "Before the reports, the market sat at roughly 15%. The 7.5-point increase in a single day reflects how quickly traders reprice risk after unverified strike data." But the given original content has a slightly different structure. Let's re-read the provided original content:

Polymarket, the decentralized prediction market, now gives a 22.5% chance of a US invasion of Iran. The jump came after overnight reports that Iran fired missiles and drones across parts of the Gulf, escalating a weeks-long standoff.

Odds spike on strike escalation

Before the reports, the market sat at roughly 15%. The 7.5-point increase in a single day reflects how quickly traders reprice risk after unverified strike data.

What was reported overnight

Unconfirmed reports from the region describe Iran launching missiles and drones that crossed into Gulf airspace. Neither the US military nor Iranian officials have commented publicly. The reports did not specify targets or casualties, but the scale of the volley appeared larger than previous exchanges.

How prediction markets react to conflict

Polymarket has become a go-to gauge for geopolitical risk among traders who treat it as a real-time probability tool. The platform's Iran contract now implies a roughly one-in-five chance of a ground invasion. Similar markets for other conflict zones often move on unverified intelligence reports before official statements are made.

The overnight shift shows that even unconfirmed strike data can move the needle. Traders are now watching for any official confirmation or denial that could reset the odds.

What's next for the market

The contract expires at the end of the year. Until then, every new report — whether from news agencies, satellite imagery, or official channels — will be priced in within minutes. The 22.5% figure is likely to change again as more details emerge from the Gulf.
