This market will resolve to "Yes" if a US-initiated drone, missile, or air strike on Venezuelan soil is announced or credibly reported to have occurred by the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within Venezuela. A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of Venezuela 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 Venezuelan territory or cause damage. Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify. Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify. The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.Following the US military strikes on January 3, 2026, that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and installed Delcy Rodríguez as interim leader, trader sentiment hinges on Washington's ongoing oversight amid de-escalation signals. Just days ago, the US lifted sanctions on Rodríguez, channeling oil revenues through Treasury-controlled accounts to retain leverage while enabling economic stabilization. Direct military coordination now includes Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, with F-35 patrols off Venezuela's coast enforcing compliance during the transition. No additional strikes have occurred in the past three months, but political risks persist ahead of potential elections within the year and opposition figure Maria Corina Machado's anticipated return, which could test interim governance.
