Kharg Island no longer under Iranian control by May 31?
This Polymarket asks whether Kharg Island will no longer be under Iranian control by May 31, 2026. It resolves to Yes only if Iran loses primary governmental or military control and another state, occupying force, or internationally backed authority takes control; temporary raids or sabotage alone would not qualify. The market is tied to Iran geopolitics and Strait of Hormuz risk, with resolution set for late May 2026.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Kharg Island is no longer under Iranian control by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". “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.
