Polymarket traders assign an 19% implied probability to Gulf State military action against Iran by April 30, driven by recent Iranian missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and others since late February, which damaged energy infrastructure and shifted GCC sentiment from neutrality toward backing U.S. pressure amid the fragile ceasefire. However, no offensive retaliation has materialized, with states prioritizing air defenses and urging Washington to enforce today's Strait of Hormuz blockade, spiking Brent crude above $100/barrel and pressuring global equities. Key catalysts include potential April 21 ceasefire expiration and new mediation talks, alongside Hormuz shipping disruptions amplifying geopolitical risk premiums in energy markets.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if any Gulf State initiates a drone, missile, or air strike on Iranian soil by 11:59 PM the listed date in Arabia Time (GMT+3). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Qualifying "Gulf States" are as follows: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "military action" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any Gulf State's military forces that impact Iranian ground territory.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory of Iran 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 on Iran's territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ground-based ATGM strikes, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by ground operatives will not qualify.
The primary solution resolution source will be official government/military statements, multilateral bodies (UN, etc.), or a consensus of credible reporting from major international media and national broadcasters/newspapers.
If the date/time of a strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by the end of the third calendar date after this market's end date, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.Polymarket traders assign an 19% implied probability to Gulf State military action against Iran by April 30, driven by recent Iranian missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and others since late February, which damaged energy infrastructure and shifted GCC sentiment from neutrality toward backing U.S. pressure amid the fragile ceasefire.
