US-Iran military tensions since February 2026, centered on the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian oil infrastructure, continue to shape trader assessments of any near-term shift in control over Kharg Island. The United States has conducted multiple strikes on Iranian military targets there, including a March raid on over 90 sites and September actions against IRGC-linked tankers near the island, while deliberately avoiding oil facilities. Iran has reinforced defenses, conducted controlled ordnance clearances, and maintained operational continuity despite a US naval blockade that has idled loadings at times. No occupation or handover of primary governmental or military authority has occurred, consistent with historical patterns where seizure risks escalation, economic disruption, and logistical challenges. Diplomatic signals from third parties and Iran's repeated warnings of firm responses further anchor the low implied probability of control changing by late 2026.

“No longer under the control of Iran” means that Iran no longer exercises primary governmental or military control over Kharg 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 Kharg 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.
