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 continues to target commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and adjacent waters amid the 2026 US-Iran conflict, using projectiles, seizures, and warnings to assert control over transit routes and raise global energy costs. Recent incidents include confirmed strikes on tankers such as the GASLOG SHANGHAI on July 31 near Oman, alongside additional near-misses, as reported by UKMTO. Iranian statements from the Supreme National Security Council link these actions to US blockades and military operations, with similar proxy pressure from Houthis threatening Red Sea routes. US naval enforcement has redirected vessels and conducted strikes to limit Iranian maritime reach. Trader sentiment on near-term successful targeting reflects ongoing Iranian assertions of authority, recent verified attacks, and risks of further escalation before potential de-escalation or intensified countermeasures.
