US strikes targeted military installations on Hengam Island in the Strait of Hormuz during July 2026 amid broader escalation between Washington, Tehran, and Israeli forces in the ongoing Iran conflict. The island, administered by Iran with historical territorial claims noted by the UAE, sustained limited damage to IRGC missile and air defense systems, resulting in reported injuries but no shift in sovereignty or occupation. Trader consensus assigns low probability to loss of Iranian control by late August 2026 deadlines, reflecting the strikes' focused scope rather than ground operations or sustained campaigns. Further diplomatic pauses, additional targeted actions, or de-escalation signals before month-end could influence outcomes, while historical patterns of proxy or limited engagements in the region have rarely produced rapid territorial transfers.

"No longer under the control of Iran" means that Iran no longer exercises primary governmental or military control over Hengam 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 Hengam 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.
