This market will resolve to "Yes" if Iran initiates a drone, missile, or air strike on a Gulf State's soil on 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. Only military actions by Iranian forces explicitly claimed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, or confirmed to have originated from Iranian territory, 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. 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 Iranian military forces that impact a gulf state's ground territory. A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory of a listed gulf state 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 a gulf state'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 Iranian ground operatives will not qualify. The primary solution resolution source will be official government/military statements (Iranian or foreign), 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.A fragile US-Iran ceasefire effective April 8 has reduced but not halted Iranian missile and drone strikes on Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps firing fewer projectiles amid ongoing threats to target energy infrastructure and power plants if US or Israeli forces use regional bases. Gulf Cooperation Council nations have condemned the attacks without direct retaliation, focusing on diplomatic neutrality while bolstering defenses and preparing for potential Strait of Hormuz disruptions following US vows to block Iranian shipping. Upcoming negotiations in Islamabad could de-escalate tensions, though proxy actions by Houthis in the Red Sea and reciprocal threats keep escalation risks elevated for traders assessing further military action.
