Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export terminal handling nearly 90% of its crude shipments in the Persian Gulf, remains under full Iranian control amid escalating US-Iran tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. US airstrikes targeted military sites on the island on April 7, 2026, sparing oil infrastructure as a deliberate signal, with Vice President JD Vance confirming no strategic shift. Iranian forces have reinforced defenses, including MANPADS deployments by April 11, and oil operations persist, as evidenced by a laden tanker departing April 14. Earlier March raids heightened speculation of ground seizure, but no occupation has occurred; traders weigh risks of further airstrikes or blockade against Iran's resilient hold and potential diplomatic off-ramps.

“No longer under the control of Iran” means that Iran no longer exercises primary governmental or military control over Kharg 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 Kharg 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.
