US-Cuba tensions have escalated sharply since the January 2026 US operation in Venezuela, prompting an oil embargo, expanded sanctions on Cuban military-linked firms and officials tied to Russia and China, and the indictment of Raúl Castro. Pentagon planners have examined contingency options including air assaults and targeted strikes, while recent US military exercises and AI command experiments have prominently featured Cuban targets on operational maps. Diplomatic contacts, including a May CIA visit to Havana, have stalled amid Cuban refusals to meet US demands on security ties and reforms, leaving the island facing severe fuel shortages and blackouts. The period through early 2027 remains the key window for potential escalation, though Washington continues prioritizing coercive pressure over direct intervention.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a US-initiated drone, missile, or air strike on the soil of Cuba is announced or credibly reported to have occurred by the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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.US-Cuba tensions have escalated sharply since the January 2026 US operation in Venezuela, prompting an oil embargo, expanded sanctions on Cuban military-linked firms and officials tied to Russia and China, and the indictment of Raúl Castro.
