In the ongoing 2026 US-Israel-Iran war, triggered by joint strikes on Iranian targets in late February, Tehran has conducted repeated direct military actions against Gulf states—including thousands of ballistic missiles and drones targeting US bases and energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman since March 1. Yesterday's Iranian strike on Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan Air Base wounded over a dozen US troops, while a drone reportedly damaged radar at Kuwait International Airport today, underscoring persistent escalation despite robust intercepts. Gulf states, via a March 27 joint statement, condemned the attacks as an existential threat, foiled Iran-linked proxy plots in Kuwait and Qatar, and are weighing offensive options amid stalled US ceasefire talks. Risks persist from Houthi involvement and potential Saudi retaliation.

Qualifying "Gulf States" are as follows: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
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.
For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "military action" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Iranian military forces that impact a gulf state's ground territory.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory of a listed gulf state counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land on a gulf state's territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by Iranian ground operatives will not qualify.
The primary solution resolution source will be official government/military statements (Iranian or foreign), multilateral bodies (UN, etc.), or a consensus of credible reporting from major international media and national broadcasters/newspapers.
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.
