This market will resolve to "Yes" if Iranian forces conduct a kinetic strike on or seize control of a commercial ship between market creation, and the specified date, 11:59 PM IRST (UTC +3:30). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Attacks on military vessels will not be considered. Only military actions by Iranian forces explicitly claimed by the Islamic Republic of Iran or confirmed to have originated from Iranian territory or been carried out by Iranian forces will count toward the resolution of this market. Attacks by proxy forces (i.e. Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.) will not count toward the resolution of this market. Missile/drone strikes targeting a ship that are intercepted or otherwise do not directly impact the vessel will not be considered, regardless of damage through debris. Seize control refers to Iranian forces forcefully boarding and taking control of a commercial ship. Qualifying incidents include, but are not limited to, drone and missile strikes, aerial bombings, and kinetic actions carried out by Iranian operatives in person, such as seizing a ship by force. The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. If a kinetic incident occurs, but, on the specified date, 11:59 PM IRST, material ambiguity remains as to the exact timing of the incident, or whether the incident can be attributed to Iran, this market may remain open for an additional 3 calendar days, IRST. If, at such time, the attribution or timing of the incident still cannot be confirmed, this market will resolve to "No".Iran’s ongoing efforts to enforce control over approved transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz continue to drive trader assessments of successful targeting of commercial shipping. On July 31, UKMTO reported a projectile strike damaging the engine room of the Bermuda-flagged GASLOG SHANGHAI tanker northeast of Oman, alongside a near-miss on another vessel, following Iran’s Supreme National Security Council statement reiterating demands for coordination and warnings of economic costs to the global energy sector. These actions build on earlier July strikes that contributed to the breakdown of the June memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, amid persistent US naval interdictions and IRGC enforcement measures. Scheduled maritime security updates and any further vessel incidents before late August remain key near-term factors.
