Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export terminal handling over 90% of its crude shipments in the Persian Gulf, remains fully under Iranian control despite recent U.S. military actions. On March 13, U.S. forces conducted precision airstrikes obliterating more than 90 military targets including air defenses, radar sites, and naval facilities while sparing oil infrastructure, prompting Iranian state media to release footage affirming operational continuity and armed forces dominance. In the past week, President Trump has escalated rhetoric threatening ground troops seizure amid stalled Strait of Hormuz negotiations, countered by Iran's rapid fortifications with additional personnel, mines, and anti-air systems. U.S. Marine and airborne deployments signal invasion risks, but diplomatic talks continue, with no confirmed loss of control as of early April.

“No longer under the control of Iran” means that Iran no longer exercises primary governmental or military control over Kharg Island, and another state, occupying force, or internationally backed authority has established control over the island.
Temporary raids, isolated landings, special operations, bombardment, sabotage, naval presence offshore, or temporary disruption of Iranian activity will not qualify on their own.
An announcement, threat, or claim that Iran has lost control will not qualify without actual control being established.
If control changes pursuant to a negotiated settlement, ceasefire term, surrender, or transfer agreement, this will qualify only once actual control has been established on the island.
If control over Kharg Island is contested, unclear, disputed, or not sufficiently established by the resolution date, this will not qualify, and the market will resolve to “No”.
The primary resolution source will be official statements from the relevant governments and militaries, along with a consensus of credible reporting.
