Amid heightened US-Iran tensions spilling into the Gulf, Iran launched missile and drone strikes on March 1 targeting US military facilities in Kuwait's Camp Arifjan, Bahrain International Airport, and a Saudi military base, alongside hits in Oman—verifiable actions on Gulf state soil prompting unified condemnations from GCC leaders. Iranian state media recently warned of seizing UAE and Bahrain coastlines should US ground forces stage from regional bases, while UAE officials push for aggressive reopening of the partially closed Strait of Hormuz. Houthi proxies threatened Red Sea disruptions if Gulf states join anti-Iran strikes. Traders eye potential further airstrikes or proxy escalations, with no major de-escalation signals in the past week.

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.
