*LEAVITT ON IRAN: NAVAL BLOCKADE STAYS IN EFFECT
In a mission that will last at least 7 months, the US Navy is preparing to deploy the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt to continue the blockade of Iran.
United States of America: White House spokesperson to Al-Mayadeen: The naval blockade against Iran remains in effect and fully enforced.
Asked the White on whether the Qatari PM is carrying a message from the Us administration to the Iranians, Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly responded: • • As the President said, there are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The naval blockade remains in full force and effect, and Operation Economic Outcast is underway to sever every remaining economic lifeline sustaining the regime.
On Wednesday, September 24, US President Donald Trump announced in an interview with Al Jazeera that there is no specific timetable for resuming negotiations with the Islamic Republic and that he is in no hurry to do so. The US President said: "Both US military strikes and economic pressure against the Islamic Republic are effective." He added that the US has achieved a great victory in the war and that Iran's economy is collapsing.
Straits clash with no end in sight; both sides blockade, fighting subsides; US, at a standstill, expands sanctions; six months since the start of attacks on Iran
The US is not planning new strikes on Iran yet and will rely on a naval blockade and sanctions, — Axios Secretary of State Marco Rubio told representatives of several allied countries that Washington does not plan to resume large-scale military operations against Iran "yet". Instead, the US will focus on a naval blockade, new sanctions and transporting as much oil as possible through the Strait of Hormuz to the world market. According to US officials, the US Navy has cleared most of the strait of mines, and more and more tankers are passing through it via its southern route. Washington believes that this has significantly weakened Tehran's influence on the global energy market. The Iranians have lost control of the strait. Now the US controls it, — said one of the US officials. At the same time, Rubio did not rule out new strikes if Iran attacks first. According to Axios sources, the current course may be maintained at least until the end of the US midterm elections, after which a new military campaign may be considered again. American officials also claim that over the past two weeks, almost no tankers have been recorded near Kharg Island, the main center for Iranian oil exports. There are currently no negotiations with Tehran: Washington expects that economic pressure will force Iran to return to them. Let us recall that Donald Trump previously called the Strait of Hormuz "American territory" and expressed his optimism about agreements with Tehran and the further conclusion of an agreement.

What would make this resolve YES?
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.
