Iran's repeated drone and missile barrages against Gulf states—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain—have defined trader sentiment amid the US-Israel-Iran war ignited by strikes on Tehran starting February 28, 2026. Over the past 24 hours, attacks wounded US troops at a Saudi airbase, damaged Kuwaiti ports including Mubarak al-Kabir, and prompted UAE interceptions with debris killing two in Abu Dhabi. IRGC actions also blocked ships in the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting one-fifth of global oil transit. GCC states, unified in UN condemnations, are weighing self-defense options and a UAE-led naval task force discussed with US officials. President Trump's April 6 deadline for strait reopening and potential Gulf retaliation signal heightened escalation risks through mid-April.

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.
