Ongoing US-Iran military confrontation in the Persian Gulf, including strikes on Iranian targets and enforcement of a naval blockade since early 2026, has intensified focus on Iranian-held islands controlling access to the Strait of Hormuz. Farsi Island hosts an IRGC Navy base used historically for speedboat operations and remains under Iranian administration amid reports of mine-laying and attacks on shipping. Gulf states and US officials have discussed clearing or securing such outposts to ensure free navigation, with joint statements in June 2026 rejecting Iranian control over the waterway. No verified change in sovereignty has occurred, though escalation risks or targeted operations within the resolution window could alter the status. Scheduled diplomatic or military developments in the coming months may influence the outcome.

"No longer under the control of Iran" means that Iran no longer exercises primary governmental or military control over Farsi Island, and another state, occupying force, or internationally backed authority has established control over the island.
Temporary raids, isolated landings, special operations, bombardment, sabotage, naval presence offshore, or temporary disruption of Iranian activity will not qualify on their own.
An announcement, threat, or claim that Iran has lost control will not qualify without actual control being established.
If control changes pursuant to a negotiated settlement, ceasefire term, surrender, or transfer agreement, this will qualify only once actual control has been established on the island.
If control over Farsi Island is contested, unclear, disputed, or not sufficiently established by the resolution date, this will not qualify, and the market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official statements from the relevant governments and militaries, along with a consensus of credible reporting.
