How the call settles
Public reporting shows the US launched the threatened large-scale strike campaign on Iran after the 8 p.m. ET April 7, 2026 deadline (as opposed to a pause/ceasefire)
Our reasoning
NO on the research record because Trump took the off-ramp rather than the strike campaign: a two-week US-Iran ceasefire was announced just before the 8 p.m. ET April 7, 2026 deadline, the threatened destruction of Iran's power plants and bridges was not carried out, and Brent fell 13% / WTI 14.3% on the de-escalation. Overnight April 8 US action was limited to restrikes on military targets at Kharg Island.. Applied stored rule: Public reporting shows the US launched the threatened large-scale strike campaign on Iran after the 8 p.m. ET April 7, 2026 deadline (as opposed to a pause/ceasefire).
Outcome evidence
Trump took the off-ramp rather than the strike campaign: a two-week US-Iran ceasefire was announced just before the 8 p.m. ET April 7, 2026 deadline, the threatened destruction of Iran's power plants and bridges was not carried out, and Brent fell 13% / WTI 14.3% on the de-escalation.
