Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, struck a Liberian-flagged cargo ship in the Red Sea on July 20 amid ongoing attacks that have disrupted global trade routes since November 2023, though Iran has not conducted direct naval targeting of shipping in recent weeks. US and UK airstrikes on Houthi sites in Yemen continue to deter escalation, with the latest coalition action reported last week, while diplomatic efforts for a Gaza ceasefire could reduce proxy activities. Tehran officials reiterated support for the Houthis but emphasized restraint to avoid broader confrontation with US naval forces in the region. Traders assess low direct Iranian intervention risk due to deterrence and economic pressures, monitoring Israel's operations in Yemen and potential Strait of Hormuz tensions as key escalation triggers before the market's resolution date.

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.
If the date/time of a qualifying incident cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by the end of the second calendar date after the specified date, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike is later confirmed to have taken place.
