Pentagon contingency planning for potential US military operations in Cuba has accelerated following a recent White House directive, as reported this month, amid escalating tensions from the January US raid in Venezuela that killed 32 Cuban personnel and triggered a cutoff of Venezuelan oil shipments to Havana. President Trump's hints at post-Iran intervention, coupled with new economic sanctions and threats of tariffs, have prompted Cuban leaders to warn of imminent attack risks, while a senior US general denied active invasion preparations in March. Diplomatic efforts persist, including a recent White House delegation delivering demands, but traders monitor for executive orders, further escalations, or congressional blocks on funding before any year-end resolution.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within the listed country.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of the listed country counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
