US announces end of Iranian blockade by...?

Politics

Closes in

On July 13, 2026, Trump announced the United States would reinstate its naval blockade of Iran, targeting Iranian ships and customers. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the United States government, or an authorized representative of the United States government, publicly and officially announces the end, termination, lifting, or suspension of the United States’ naval blockade on Iranian ships and ships of Iranian customers, between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement qualifies if it communicates that the United States will generally cease blocking vessel traffic for Iranian ships and customers, including an announcement that the blockade will not take effect at all, even if some restrictions remain (for example, an imposition of fees). An announcement does not qualify if it reflects only a limited or partial change that stops short of a general end or suspension of the blockade, for example, an exemption for a specific vessel, cargo, or port. A qualifying announcement must be a declarative statement of the United States government’s present termination or suspension of the blockade, previously-unannounced prior termination or suspension of the blockade, or definitive decision to terminate or suspend the blockade. A qualifying announcement must clearly and unambiguously identify the end or suspension of the blockade. Statements that merely allude to, reference, or describe an end to the blockade, without clearly communicating it, do not qualify. The announcement need not use specific terminology or reference the end of a blockade by name; an announcement of a resumption of prior obligations, the maintenance of a status quo, or a return to a previously agreed baseline qualifies, provided the substantive policy of ending or suspending the blockade is clearly and unambiguously communicated. A qualifying announcement must be made through official channels, by an individual acting in an official capacity. Statements made incidentally or informally in a context not intended for official communication do not qualify. The following do not qualify: Anonymous, unattributed, or leaked statements not confirmed as official; Statements by persons not authorized to speak for the United States government; Third-party speculation, analysis, or predictions that the United States government will announce or implement an end to the blockade; Satirical, fabricated, hacked, or impersonated communications; and Statements that describe a prospective, contingent, probable, or conditional end to the blockade rather than announcing a present and decided position. Once a qualifying announcement is made, this market will resolve to “Yes” regardless of whether it is later reversed, or whether the blockade actually ends in practice. Resolution will be based on official information from the United States government, including the President, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and United States Central Command (CENTCOM), or the official representatives of the United States government.

It’s leverage for both of them. Iran earns money from oil leaving and also buys useful imports. The US gets lower fuel prices, fertilizer, and higher public morale.

Emirati ship attacked by Iran in the Hormuz today resulted in a ship fire and unfortunate casualty of an Indian national. US: Let's abandon the blockade and leave EU to fend for themselves!

No is free

Expecting a formal White House or State Dept announcement ending naval sanctions enforcement within five weeks is highly unrealistic. Diplomatic negotiations move at a snail's pace, making 'No' the only rational position to hold through October.

GG guys not going to happen today unfortunately, apparently atm he is having talks but im assuming he is going to announce tomorrow or wednesday pre market, he normally doesnt announce this late in the evening, no benefit to him.

NoSteinNoGate Sep 21

Yes that is their leverage

0x9F9ef1D7C979ac45BA59BB2a2b0d4Cd6Ea124C57-1771671654656 Sep 21

How is this leverage iran is literally enforcing it themselves also

NoSteinNoGate Sep 21

Mhh maybe because the US loses their only real leverage?

tsybka Sep 21

:Mr. President, the blockade has been lifted.

0x9F9ef1D7C979ac45BA59BB2a2b0d4Cd6Ea124C57-1771671654656 Sep 21

One of the pre requisite for talks was to end the blockade, I dont see why it wouldn't be today to end it...

RUMBLED Sep 21

I'm on the no side but I do actually see a path for Trump to resolve this as a Yes. One is pressure from the other Middle Eastern countries force him to end the blockade. Second is he will just declare victory and end the blockade as the midterms approach and then doesn't actually do it.

RUMBLED Sep 21

That's because a deal was signed and then violated by Israel. Since then Iran has said they won't deal with the US until 2029 when he leaves office. They could be bluffing but considering how reliable the demented 80 year old is at keeping his word I'm going with Iran on this one.

adasol Sep 21

next week will be interesting

adasol Sep 21

at least we know if there is a path or not. Iran never gives Trump the publicity of a meeting unless he has already made enough concessions for Iran

Cal800 Sep 21

If you do your research the Iranian president Pezeshkian and negotiators Ghalibaf / Araghchi are all considered moderates. Meeting them is not the issue. The real problem is the hardliners IRGC holding the real power. It will take some time to wear them down. Unlikely to meet (in a official venue), negotiate, and come to a ratified agreement in 10 days.

MARV-1 Sep 20

yes, that was what i was saying

MARV-1 Sep 20

then why did you buy yes when you explained the reasons for no

ArthurGreen Sep 20

The last blockade lasted 69 days. We are at this point again.

BREAKING: Iran has reportedly issued “Code 100,” its highest alert level, across the IRGC, Army and security forces in the past hour. The alert is reportedly used when Iranian authorities believe an attack may be imminent. Trump abruptly cut short his Camp David weekend and returned to the White House Saturday night without an explanation. Netanyahu has also shortened his U.S. trip, canceling a planned meeting with Elon Musk in Texas. No meeting with Trump is currently scheduled. Meanwhile, U.S. embassies across the Middle East — including Iraq, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Lebanon, Kuwait and Jordan — have issued security alerts warning of “unforeseen escalation,” possible flight cancellations and airspace closures. The State Department warned that the conflict “has the potential to escalate rapidly.” Iran on its highest reported alert. Trump back in Washington. Netanyahu returning to Israel. U.S. embassies across the region warning of escalation

RUMBLED Sep 14

Yes, that was my mistake. I meant to say resolves as Yes.

yonips Sep 14

RUMBLED Sep 13

There is gonna be a lot of price fluctuations from here until the date of expiry, whatever that is but Imo the only reasons this resolves no is if Trump passes and Vance takes over or if Trump decides to just declare victory and lie and say he'll withdraw. The amount of people here betting on him acting sane is ridiculous.
