President Trump launched Project Freedom in early May 2026 as a limited naval escort operation using destroyers, aircraft, and unmanned systems to reopen commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following the Iran war ceasefire and Iranian blockade. The initiative was paused within 48 hours amid requests from Pakistan and other mediators, with the president citing progress toward a final peace agreement with Iran. Trader positioning on a restart by late June reflects ongoing diplomatic talks, statements from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicating continued covert protection of shipping, and reports that the administration has considered resuming or expanding the operation. Key variables include the status of Iran negotiations, regional ally cooperation on basing and overflight rights, and any escalation in maritime incidents before the resolution window closes.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump, the United States government, or the United States military announces that Project Freedom will be restarted by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
An announcement explicitly stating that “Project Freedom” will be restarted will qualify. Additionally, any announcement of a substantially equivalent United States military program to escort, protect, or retrieve commercial ships in or through the Strait of Hormuz will qualify.
Only definitive announcements will qualify. Suggestions, expressions of openness, reported preparations, or other non-definitive statements will not qualify.
Any qualifying announcement within this market’s time frame will count, regardless of whether or when the announced program goes into effect.
The primary resolution source will be official information from Donald Trump, the United States government, and the United States military; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
