Amid the escalating US-Iran conflict, Kharg Island—Iran's vital oil export hub handling 90% of its crude shipments—remains fully under Iranian control as of early April 2026. US airstrikes on March 13 targeted military installations, which American officials claimed obliterated defenses while sparing infrastructure, but Iranian reports confirm no damage to oil facilities, with exports reportedly increasing. President Trump has threatened ground operations or blockades to compel reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iran to reinforce the island with minefields, anti-aircraft missiles, and troop buildups. Diplomatic deadlines loom amid risks of broader escalation, including retaliatory strikes on US forces or Gulf allies, shaping trader assessments of seizure feasibility.

“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.
