This market requires both the United States and Iran to make declarative announcements accepting a diplomatic agreement concerning traffic in the Strait of Hormuz before the deadline. While the rules detail what constitutes an agreement and exclude vague statements of support or ongoing talks, assessing whether uncoordinated statements amount to the same qualifying instrument introduces interpretation challenges. Resolution relies on official government statements backed by a consensus of credible reporting. Notably, an exceptional clause dictates that if an announcement occurs near or before the deadline but remains ambiguous, resolution may be delayed up to 14 days to seek clarification, resolving on the totality of information rather than any single official statement.

Market explained before close
This market measures whether the United States and Iran announce a diplomatic agreement regarding vessel or shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz by November 6.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes if an official diplomatic agreement between the United States and Iran regarding traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is announced by November 6 at 11:59 PM ET. The agreement must establish Iranian policies, obligations, or commitments aimed at permitting, restoring, or increasing vessel or shipping traffic through the strait. Both nations must clearly and unambiguously announce acceptance of the same agreement, either jointly or separately; statements of ongoing negotiations, prospective deals, or individual uncoordinated policies do not qualify. Otherwise, the market resolves to No. If announcements occur but remain ambiguous, the market may remain open for up to 14 calendar days after the last announcement to evaluate further statements or credible reporting before resolving based on the totality of information. Resolution is decided by official information from the US and Iranian governments and a consensus of credible reporting.

Resolution rules at close
This market will resolve to “Yes” if a diplomatic agreement between the United States and Iran over traffic in the strait of Hormuz is announced by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. A diplomatic agreement refers to an official agreement, treaty, deal, or substantially similar diplomatic instrument that establishes agreed actions, policies, obligations, or commitments between the United States and Iran. A qualifying diplomatic agreement must establish Iranian policies, obligations, or commitments aimed at permitting, restoring, or increasing vessel or shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. All listed countries must announce their acceptance of the same qualifying diplomatic agreement for the Payout Condition to be met. A joint announcement will qualify, as will separate announcements from each entity of its own acceptance of an agreement which, taken together, directly indicate that all the listed countries accepted the same agreement. Separate announcements of individual policies will not qualify if the policies are not announced as part of a diplomatic agreement. Each announcement must be a declarative statement that clearly and unambiguously communicates acceptance of an agreement. Statements that reference ongoing negotiations or a prospective agreement, or that allude to or express support for an agreement without confirming acceptance of the agreement, do not qualify. A qualifying announcement need not reference the agreement by name or use specific terminology, provided it clearly communicates acceptance of an agreement. Whether announcements from the listed countries represent a diplomatic agreement and whether such an agreement qualifies will be primarily determined through the announcements themselves. Where an announcement is made by all listed countries but, based on the announcements, it remains ambiguous whether the announcements represent a qualifying diplomatic agreement between the countries, this market will remain open until either i) definitive confirmation that the announcements represent a qualifying diplomatic agreement between the listed entities is achieved through further announcements from the listed countries or a consensus of credible reporting or ii) 14 calendar days (ET) have passed after the date that the last country made their first potentially qualifying announcement. If, at the end of the fourteenth calendar day, no definitive confirmation has been achieved, this market will resolve 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 of the United States and Iran and a consensus of credible reporting.
