The move follows reports of renewed US-Iran hostilities around the Strait of Hormuz, and the market\u2019s strike-by-strike curve shows where traders draw the timing line.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Prediction: The leading Polymarket ladder outcome is \u201cby December 31\u201d at 70.5% implied Yes (29.5% No).<\/li>\n<li>Basis: After the Hormuz security backdrop, the ladder prices a low near-term chance but a much higher late-2026 chance, concentrating confidence in the later strikes.<\/li>\n<li>Timing: The market resolves on 2026-08-31 23:59 UTC; the last 24h and 7d move is +15.5 percentage points with a bullish, strengthening-consensus summary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A report says the US carried out a third consecutive night of strikes against Iran ahead of a reinstated naval blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran reported retaliatory actions in and around the Strait of Hormuz. The account describes attacks and explosions across Iran\u2019s southern coast and the strait area, plus claimed strikes on vessels and regional targets as both sides contest control of the waterway.<\/p>\n<h2>Odds Curve &amp; Liquidity Snapshot: 70.5% on Dec 31 With $1.03M Matched; +15.5pp in 24h\/7d Across Key Strikes<\/h2>\n<p>This is a price-ladder market: each date is its own separate Yes\/No contract for whether Iran charges Hormuz fees by that strike, rather than a single bet that \u201csettles\u201d at a specific date. The curve shows a steep timing gradient: July 15 is priced at 4.75% Yes \/ 95.25% No, July 31 at 18.0% Yes \/ 82.0% No, August 31 at 52.5% Yes \/ 47.5% No, and December 31 at 70.5% Yes \/ 29.5% No, signaling traders see the near-term window as unlikely while assigning meaningfully higher odds to later action. The latest tick in the leading strike is a small uptick (70.5% vs 70.0%, +0.5pp) on $1,028,139 matched volume, while the historical summary flags a bullish trend with moderate momentum and moderate volatility. With change_24h and change_7d both at +15.5pp and \u201cconsensus: strengthening,\u201d the repricing reads less like a single headline spike and more like a sustained shift toward the late-2026 timing buckets, even as the ladder keeps substantial uncertainty around the August 31 resolution window.<\/p>\n<p>Watch whether pricing continues to migrate from the mid-curve (August 31 at 52.5% Yes) into the later strikes (October 31 at 65.5% Yes and December 31 at 70.5% Yes), or whether the curve flattens\u2014an early sign traders are pulling probability back toward the nearer dates ahead of the 2026-08-31 23:59 UTC resolution.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Polymarket Contracts Traders Watch Next: Strait\u2011Risk Energy\/Shipping Shocks, Iran\u2011US Escalation, and Macro\u2011Crypt<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re tracking how traders are hedging the broader Iran risk complex on Polymarket, several adjacent contracts are drawing heavy attention. \u201cWill the U.S. invade Iran before 2027?\u201d sits at 80.5% No on $41.36M volume, while \u201cUS-Iran Final Nuclear Deal by\u2026?\u201d is pricing 30.5% for \u201cDecember 31\u201d on $9.84M.
