Tensions between the US and Cuba have escalated in recent weeks, with Pentagon officials quietly accelerating contingency planning for potential military operations following a direct White House directive in mid-April, amid reports of Cuba's deepening military and economic ties to Russia and China. President Trump's public hints at Cuba being "next" after Venezuela operations, coupled with new US sanctions targeting Cuba's military-controlled energy conglomerate, have fueled rhetoric, prompting Cuban leaders to warn of possible strikes on May 6. However, US sources emphasize no imminent action, prioritizing diplomatic offers like Starlink access in exchange for political reforms and prisoner releases. Traders monitor for triggers such as further Cuban provocations or congressional holds on funding, against a backdrop of Havana's ongoing energy crisis and US Guantánamo Bay presence.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a US-initiated drone, missile, or air strike on the soil of Cuba is announced or credibly reported to have occurred by the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within the listed country.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of the listed country counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.Tensions between the US and Cuba have escalated in recent weeks, with Pentagon officials quietly accelerating contingency planning for potential military operations following a direct White House directive in mid-April, amid reports of Cuba's deepening military and economic ties to Russia and China.
