Ongoing US-Iran military exchanges in the Strait of Hormuz since February 2026 have placed Hengam Island under repeated scrutiny, including reported US projectile impacts on the island in July and strikes on nearby Larak Island launchers in August. Iranian authorities have reinforced defensive positions across Gulf islands with additional troops and mines while asserting continued sovereignty, with no verified shifts in governmental or military administration reported through mid-September. A September 13 attack on an Iranian cargo vessel near Hengam killed one crew member and injured others amid broader exchanges targeting shipping and oil infrastructure. Trader consensus reflects these developments by assigning low implied probabilities to any loss of Iranian control by late 2026 dates, citing the absence of amphibious operations or territorial transfers despite sustained conflict pressures. Upcoming naval activity or diplomatic pauses could influence near-term assessments.

"No longer under the control of Iran" means that Iran no longer exercises primary governmental or military control over Hengam Island, and another state, occupying force, or internationally backed authority has established control over the island.
Temporary raids, isolated landings, special operations, bombardment, sabotage, naval presence offshore, or temporary disruption of Iranian activity will not qualify on their own.
An announcement, threat, or claim that Iran has lost control will not qualify without actual control being established.
If control changes pursuant to a negotiated settlement, ceasefire term, surrender, or transfer agreement, this will qualify only once actual control has been established on the island.
If control over Hengam Island is contested, unclear, disputed, or not sufficiently established by the resolution date, this will not qualify, and the market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official statements from the relevant governments and militaries, along with a consensus of credible reporting.
