Amid escalating US-Iran tensions in the Persian Gulf, President Trump's administration is contemplating a ground invasion of Kharg Island—handling over 90% of Iran's crude oil exports—to pressure Tehran on Strait of Hormuz access following US airstrikes on March 13-15 that targeted military sites without disrupting oil operations. Iran has reinforced defenses in recent weeks, deploying additional troops, air defenses, mines, and man-portable missiles, while state media released footage affirming full armed forces control and uninterrupted exports. No seizure has occurred as of March 28, 2026, with traders weighing invasion risks against Iranian traps and potential oil market disruptions; key catalysts include US troop deployments and diplomatic signals ahead of possible April decisions.

“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.
