Amid the US-Israel air campaign against Iran that began February 28 targeting nuclear sites, leadership, and military infrastructure—including recent strikes on Tehran and Isfahan on March 27-28—traders price in 4 countries (33%) as most likely for Israel's 2026 strikes, closely trailed by 5 (28%). Ongoing airstrikes and ground incursions in southern Lebanon to establish a security buffer, combined with routine operations against Syrian proxies and Houthi escalations prompting potential Yemen retaliation, anchor the consensus around this range. The tight race reflects uncertainty over whether militia activity in Iraq or further Iranian proxy responses will add a fifth front, against diplomatic pushes by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Gulf states for de-escalation ahead of UN Security Council talks.

Strikes on embassies or consulates will count towards the country the embassy or consulate is located in, not towards the country they represent.
Strikes within the territory controlled by Israel as of December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, as well as strikes within the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, will not be counted towards this market's resolution.
For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Israeli military forces that impact another country's ground territory that is officially acknowledged by the Israeli government or a consensus of credible reporting.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not count towards the resolution of this market, regardless of whether they land on another country's territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by Israeli ground operatives will not qualify.
The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
