Tensions between Iran and Israel persist after Iran's October 1, 2024, missile attack on Israel—its second direct strike—and Israel's retaliatory airstrikes on Iranian military targets on October 26, with both sides since emphasizing restraint to avert all-out war. Iran continues supporting proxies like Hezbollah amid Israel's intensified Lebanon operations, which have degraded militant capabilities without provoking further Tehran-launched action. U.S. diplomatic pressure, including post-election foreign policy signals, and stalled Gaza ceasefire talks shape trader assessments of escalation risks by March 31. Key watchpoints include potential Hezbollah setbacks prompting Iranian intervention, UN Security Council sessions, or bilateral backchannels amid sanctions and nuclear negotiations.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Iranian military forces that impact a listed country's ground territory or any official embassy or consulate of that country (e.g., if a weapons depot on a listed country soil is hit by an Iranian missile, this market will resolve to "Yes").
Missiles or drones which are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution regardless of whether they land on a listed country's territory or cause damage.
Strikes within the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, will be counted as Israel.
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.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by US or Israeli ground operatives will not qualify.
The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
If the date/time of a strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by the end of the third calendar date after this market's end date, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
