Trader consensus strongly favors "No" at 92.5% on Iran sabotaging undersea internet cables by April 30, driven by the absence of confirmed incidents or direct Tehran claims despite escalating Middle East tensions. Recent Israeli strikes on Iranian assets in Syria and Iran's measured missile response focused on military targets, not global infrastructure like submarine cables. While Iran-backed Houthis have intensified Red Sea shipping attacks, regional cables—including those in the Arabian Sea—report no disruptions attributed to sabotage, bolstered by heightened US-led naval patrols and monitoring. No official announcements signal intent, aligning with diplomatic restraint amid nuclear talks.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Iran or Iranian-aligned groups damage undersea internet cables between market creation and April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
Only actions that cause physical damage to the undersea internet cable infrastructure, e.g., physical sabotage, such as cutting, dragging, or explosive attacks, will be considered. Cyber attacks will not qualify, even if they have kinetic effects.
Qualifying incidents must occur in the region spanning the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Red Sea, including areas surrounding the Arabian Peninsula.
Attempted attacks that do not result in damage, or actions that are intercepted or fail to impact the cables, will not qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
Incidents which are broadly attributed to Iranian forces or Iranian-aligned groups will qualify regardless of the absence of definitive evidence or official Iranian denials.
The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
