Trader consensus reflects an 82.5% implied probability against Iran agreeing to unrestricted commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz by May 31, driven by the ongoing 2026 Hormuz crisis amid stalled US-Iran diplomacy. Iran briefly reopened the strait during an April ceasefire but reimposed restrictions on April 18 after the US announced a counter-blockade on Iranian ports and vessels, leading to muted shipping traffic as reported on April 27. On April 28, Iran's IRGC Navy deputy commander asserted absolute control, requiring foreign ships to follow Iranian rules including Persian communications. With no progress in negotiations over uranium stockpiles or blockades, and high insurance costs persisting, traders anticipate continued restrictions barring a major de-escalation breakthrough.

Iran allowing unrestricted commercial navigation of the Strait of Hormuz refers to a public agreement by Iran that commercial vessels may transit the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian authorization/permission, payment of fees to Iran, or other Iran-imposed restrictions. A public agreement that all restrictions imposed on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz by Iran as part of the US-Iran conflict which began on February 28, 2026, will be definitively lifted, without replacement by new restrictions, will qualify.
A qualifying agreement must clearly indicate that Iran will not impose restrictions on commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz. General statements about the strait being “open”, de-escalation, security, increased transit in the Strait, or stability in the region, which do not clearly indicate that Iran will allow unrestricted commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz, will not qualify.
An official pledge by Iran to allow unrestricted commercial navigation of the Strait of Hormuz will qualify for a “Yes” resolution whether as a unilateral announcement or part of an agreement with the U.S. or Israel.
Any agreement or pledge made before the resolution date of this market will qualify, regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect.
An agreement by Iran to allow unrestricted commercial navigation of the Strait of Hormuz as a precondition of a more comprehensive peace process or deal will qualify, even if the agreement is not finalized or part of a formalized peace deal.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from the government of Iran and a consensus of credible reporting.
