Qualifying incidents include, but are not limited to, drone and missile strikes, aerial bombings, and kinetic actions carried out by Iranian operatives in person, such as seizing a ship by force. The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. If the date/time of a qualifying incident cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by the end of the second calendar date after the specified date, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike is later confirmed to have taken place.

Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects low implied probability for Iran directly and successfully targeting international shipping, driven by Tehran's preference for proxy actions via Houthis in the Red Sea rather than overt strikes risking escalation with the US and allies. Recent developments include Iran's seizure of the MSC Aries container ship on April 13 amid retaliatory missile barrages against Israel, but no confirmed direct hits on commercial vessels; Houthi drone and missile attacks continue disrupting Bab el-Mandeb Strait traffic, with US-UK airstrikes yielding mixed results. Upcoming UN Security Council sessions and potential NATO naval reinforcements could deter direct Iranian involvement, maintaining current market caution.
