Qatar's Defense Ministry intercepted multiple drones fired from Iran early March 28, the first such attack on the Gulf state in over a week amid ongoing Iranian missile and drone barrages targeting US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and especially the UAE. Since late February strikes killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran has launched over 5,000 projectiles at these nations, as condemned by UN Security Council Resolution 2817 on March 11. Gulf states report successful interceptions but weigh military responses, while Iran-backed Houthis signal potential Red Sea escalation; no ceasefire or diplomatic progress has emerged to halt the exchanges.

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 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.
