Following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S. and Israeli strikes, the prediction market platform Kalshi saw a surge in the implied odds of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz before 2027. The probability spiked from 37% to 61% before settling at 42%. This volatility reflects uncertainty about Tehran's potential response and the risk of escalating regional conflict, which could impact global oil shipping routes. Kalshi, regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, allows trading based on event outcomes, offering insight into market sentiment amid geopolitical tensions.
