Pronóstico: Kharg Island no longer under Iranian control by 2026?

Market context

Iran’s Kharg Island remains the regime’s primary oil export terminal, handling roughly 90% of its crude exports and serving as the economic lifeline for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Despite US strikes in March 2026 that obliterated military targets and President Trump’s June 11 declaration that the US would “take Kharg Island,” Iranian forces have retained primary governmental and military control. The current 0% crowd-implied probability reflects the reality that bombardment, sabotage, or offshore naval presence alone do not constitute a loss of control; another state must establish definitive occupation or administrative authority, which has not occurred.

Historical precedents for territorial shifts in the Persian Gulf, such as the 1980s oil war incidents or the 2003 Iraq invasion’s impact on Gulf logistics, show that even severe military degradation rarely results in immediate sovereignty transfer without a sustained ground invasion and occupation. Comparable cases where oil terminals were struck but not seized—like the 2019 Saudi Aramco attacks—demonstrate that infrastructure damage does not equate to loss of control. The 0% probability aligns with this pattern: no foreign force has yet established the primary authority required to resolve the market as “Yes.”

Traders should monitor Trump’s next public statements on US military deployment timelines, any announced US ground troop movements toward the Gulf, and IRGC responses to ongoing US-Israeli war operations. A recent CBS News report (June 11) confirms Trump’s intent to seize Kharg, but no official deployment order has been issued. The settlement window ends March 31, 2026; until a foreign state establishes unambiguous administrative control, the market will remain “No.” Watch for UN Security Council resolutions on Gulf occupation or confirmed US amphibious landing announcements as key catalysts.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
