This market will resolve to "Yes" if Kharg Island is no longer under Iranian control by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.

An announcement, threat, or claim that Iran has lost control will not qualify without actual control being established.

These actions targeted air defenses, radar sites, and mine facilities while explicitly avoiding oil export infrastructure, which handles the vast majority of Iran's crude shipments. Iranian forces have reinforced positions on the island in response, and no ground occupation or handover to another authority has occurred. Ongoing diplomatic pressures over Strait of Hormuz shipping and potential escalation risks remain key variables that could influence future outcomes before mid-year resolution windows.
