Heightened US-Iran tensions and persistent attacks on commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have kept energy transit volumes at multi-month lows, with daily commodity vessel crossings recently dipping to single digits versus pre-conflict averages near 130. US naval assets, including roughly 20 warships and carriers such as the Abraham Lincoln in the Gulf of Oman, continue enforcing blockades and escort operations, directly supporting compliant traffic while elevating risks to global oil supply. This dynamic has widened tanker insurance premiums, lifted freight rates, and introduced volatility into Brent and WTI futures as traders price supply disruption probabilities. With the August 31 resolution deadline days away, any confirmed transits by additional nations would signal coalition expansion, potentially easing or intensifying market-implied odds on energy security and inflation pass-through.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a national government, its military, or a broad consensus of credible reporting confirms that the listed country's warships transited through the Strait of Hormuz between market creation and August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A "warship transit" is defined as a military vessel passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Military cargo or support vessels will be considered “warships”; however, commercial or civilian vessels will not qualify.
For the purposes of this market, only transits through the Strait of Hormuz will be considered, defined as passage through the narrowest portion of the waterway between Iran and Oman. Operations solely in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, or Arabian Sea without passage through this narrowest section will not qualify.
Official confirmation by a national government or its military that its vessels transited through the Strait of Hormuz during the specified timeframe will resolve this market immediately. An overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such a transit occurred during the specified timeframe will also suffice.
Qualifying confirmations must be made within this markets above specified timeframe and include official announcements that a country has deployed naval vessels to transit or escort shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Confirmations referring only to naval presence in the broader region, including the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, or Arabian Sea, without confirmed transit through the Strait itself, as well as aerial operations, cyber operations, or actions by proxies or third parties, will not alone qualify.
