Project Freedom was a U.S.-led military initiative to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz. This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump, the United States government, or the United States military announces that Project Freedom will be restarted by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement explicitly stating that “Project Freedom” will be restarted will qualify. Additionally, any announcement of a substantially equivalent United States military program to escort, protect, or retrieve commercial ships in or through the Strait of Hormuz will qualify. Only definitive announcements will qualify. Suggestions, expressions of openness, reported preparations, or other non-definitive statements will not qualify. Any qualifying announcement within this market’s time frame will count, regardless of whether or when the announced program goes into effect. The primary resolution source will be official information from Donald Trump, the United States government, and the United States military; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Saudi Arabia and Kuwait recently lifted restrictions on U.S. military access to their bases and airspace, clearing a key hurdle for potentially restarting Project Freedom, a U.S.-led operation launched May 4 to escort commercial ships through the Iran-disrupted Strait of Hormuz but paused within 48 hours amid escalation fears and diplomatic hopes. President Trump stated on Fox News two days ago he is considering renewal—possibly as an expanded "Project Freedom Plus"—if U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks collapse, as recent reports indicate stalled progress. Traders weigh definitive announcements from the White House, CENTCOM, or Trump against ongoing negotiations and risks of further de-escalation signals, with a potential restart as early as this week ahead of the market's May 31 resolution window.
