Description

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Iran targets an Arab country through a qualifying military action between market creation and the listed date, Arabia Standard Time (AST). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” Qualifying Arab countries are as follows: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. A qualifying military action refers to an air strike or a surface-to-surface missile strike, initiated by Iran, directed at a qualifying Arab country. An air strike includes bombs, air-to-surface missiles, and air-launched drones. A surface-to-surface missile strike includes one-way attack drones and surface-to-surface missiles such as cruise or ballistic missiles. The following actions do not constitute a qualifying military action: Surface-to-air missile strikes; Small-arms fire; Ground incursions; Cyber operations; Naval gunfire and artillery fire; Howitzers, artillery pieces, mortars, and rocket artillery (e.g. MLRS systems); Minor surface-to-surface strikes, including short range loitering munitions, FPV drones, and ATGM strikes; Any threat, authorization, or announcement of force that has not been executed. Military action that consists primarily or exclusively of munitions that are intercepted before impact will still qualify if they constitute a qualifying military action during the specified timeframe; whether the munitions were intercepted, where the munitions landed, and whether damage resulted will not be considered. A military action will be considered directed at an Arab country if it is directed at the terrestrial territory of an Arab country, including any internal waters. 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. The occurrence, attribution, and timing of a qualifying military action will be primarily determined based on a consensus of information available from the resolution sources. Where multiple sources conflict regarding the occurrence, attribution, or timing of a relevant military action, this market will remain open until the earlier of: i) the confirmation of the occurrence, attribution, and timing of the action based on a consensus of information available from the resolution sources or ii) 3 full calendar days (AST) from the date of the first credibly reported evidence of the action. If this period would extend past the end date, this market will remain open to allow for 3 full calendar days to pass. At the end of the third calendar day, if conflicting reports remain, the incident will be adjudicated based on the totality of information available from the resolution sources at that time. No single statement, denial, or presentation of evidence will govern where it is contradicted by the totality of information. The resolution sources for this market will be official information from the governments and militaries of Iran and the qualifying Arab country and a consensus of credible reporting.

Frequently asked questions

On Polymarket, the dashboard for the Iran-Arab conflict market tracks the current odds of the event occurring, represented as implied probabilities. You'll also find a price history chart showing how the market has priced in new information over time, as well as the 24-hour trading volume, which currently stands at $12,252. Total volume for this market is $27,171. This allows traders to gauge market sentiment and identify potential trading opportunities related to escalating tensions in the region.

Currently, the prevailing sentiment in this market suggests a different outlook than many traditional analyst forecasts regarding the likelihood of Iran directly targeting an Arab country. While expert opinions vary, this market aggregates the wisdom of the crowd, reflecting real-time assessments of geopolitical risks. Discrepancies between the market’s implied probability and analyst predictions can highlight areas of disagreement or differing access to information, offering a unique perspective on the potential for conflict. It’s important to consider both sources when forming your own assessment.

On Polymarket, this market is priced through a continuous auction mechanism where traders buy and sell shares representing their belief in the event's outcome. The price of a share directly reflects the probability of the event occurring, with higher prices indicating a greater perceived likelihood. On Polymarket, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The market's price fluctuates based on supply and demand, driven by new information, geopolitical developments, and shifts in trader sentiment. This dynamic pricing ensures the market remains responsive to changing conditions and reflects the collective intelligence of participants.

This market resolves around Sep 30, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, resolution will depend on whether Iran directly targets a sovereign Arab nation with a military action—this includes missile strikes, drone attacks, or naval engagements—before the resolution date. The outcome will be determined by assessing reports from reputable news organizations and governmental sources to establish a clear and verifiable record of any such actions. This market will close and settle based on this assessment.

Several factors could significantly impact this market. Escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a major disruption to oil supplies, or a direct confrontation between Iranian forces and those of an Arab nation would likely cause a substantial shift in the odds. Furthermore, significant policy changes from the United States or other international powers, or a breakdown in diplomatic negotiations, could also move this market. Any credible reports of Iranian military mobilization or aggressive rhetoric targeting an Arab country will be closely watched by traders and could influence price movements.
