Escalating Iranian missile and drone strikes on Gulf states' energy infrastructure—damaging Saudi, UAE, and Bahrain facilities since early March—have spiked Brent crude to $109 per barrel, embedding a hefty geopolitical risk premium and driving VIX volatility higher amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions curbing 20% of global oil supply. Trader consensus on Polymarket prices Gulf state offensive action against Iran at low implied probabilities (around 12-22% for near-term resolutions), reflecting Riyadh and Abu Dhabi's preference for urging U.S. escalation over direct involvement, despite Saudi FM warnings of retaliation if attacks persist. Upcoming UN Security Council vote on a Bahraini resolution for defensive Hormuz reopening and potential further Iranian barrages could catalyze sentiment shifts.

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.Escalating Iranian missile and drone strikes on Gulf states' energy infrastructure—damaging Saudi, UAE, and Bahrain facilities since early March—have spiked Brent crude to $109 per barrel, embedding a hefty geopolitical risk premium and driving VIX volatility higher amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions curbing 20% of global oil supply.
