Trader consensus on Polymarket assigns low implied probabilities to Kharg Island, Iran's key Persian Gulf oil export terminal, falling out of Tehran control by specified dates, driven by the absence of direct military threats to the facility despite escalated Israel-Iran tensions. Recent Israeli airstrikes on October 26 targeted Iranian military sites but spared energy infrastructure like Kharg, signaling strategic restraint to avoid global oil disruptions. Iran has threatened Strait of Hormuz closures in retaliation but has not acted, with no verified reports of insurgencies or foreign incursions on the island. Upcoming factors include potential Iranian proxy attacks or further Israeli responses, though naval superiority and logistical challenges make seizure improbable without broader war; monitor UN Security Council sessions and OPEC statements for shifts.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Kharg Island is no longer under Iranian control by March 31, 2026 11:59PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
“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.This market will resolve to "Yes" if Kharg Island is no longer under Iranian control by April 30, 2026 11:59PM ET.
