How the call settles
YES if, after July 29 and by August 31, 2026, the United States materially expands direct hostilities against Iran beyond the July 29 level through a sustained new strike campaign, a new theater of direct attacks, deployment of ground combat forces, or a formal declaration of war; NO if no such material expansion occurs.
Our reasoning
NO on the research record because The first post-July 29 action was a limited August 30 strike after a month without military action, so no qualifying expansion occurred by August 31. A broader barrage against multiple target sets began September 1, one calendar day after the deadline.. Applied stored rule: YES if, after July 29 and by August 31, 2026, the United States materially expands direct hostilities against Iran beyond the July 29 level through a sustained new strike campaign, a new theater of direct attacks, deployment of ground combat forces, or a formal declaration of war; NO if no such material expansion occurs. Approved near miss: The broader U.S. strike barrage began on 2026-09-01, one calendar day after the 2026-08-31 deadline.
Outcome evidence
The first post-July 29 action was a limited August 30 strike after a month without military action, so no qualifying expansion occurred by August 31. A broader barrage against multiple target sets began September 1, one calendar day after the deadline.
