Trader consensus favors 2-3 ships successfully targeted by Iran by April 30 at 51.5%, reflecting sporadic anti-ship strikes in the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing 2026 US-Israel-Iran war, where capabilities have been degraded by over 3,000 coalition airstrikes on missile facilities and naval vessels—including nine Iranian warships sunk. The April 1 missile hit on Panama-flagged tanker Aqua 1 north of Qatar (hull damage, no fatalities) and March 31 strike on Kuwaiti Al Salmi (fire damage) mark the latest verified successes, following roughly 20 prior incidents mostly causing minor damage since late February. Houthi entry via March 28 ballistic missiles on Israel elevates 10+ odds to 31.5% on potential Red Sea escalation, though Iran has conditionally allowed limited transits, curbing opportunities. Upcoming US operations and diplomatic signals could further suppress attacks.

This market will resolve based on the number of distinct commercial vessels on which Iranian forces conduct a kinetic strike or otherwise seize control between market creation and April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.
Attacks on military vessels will not be considered.
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.
Missile/drone strikes targeting a ship that are intercepted or otherwise do not directly impact the vessel will not be considered, regardless of damage through debris.
Qualifying incidents include, but are not limited to, drone and missile strikes, aerial bombings, and kinetic actions carried out by Iranian operatives in person, such as seizing a ship by force.
The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.Trader consensus favors 2-3 ships successfully targeted by Iran by April 30 at 51.5%, reflecting sporadic anti-ship strikes in the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing 2026 US-Israel-Iran war, where capabilities have been degraded by over 3,000 coalition airstrikes on missile facilities and naval vessels—including nine Iranian warships sunk.
