GPT-5.6 Luna
72% yes
Likely yes — the corridor coordinates and core terms appear substantially negotiated, leaving over a month for Iran and Oman to issue a joint or coordinated formal announcement. The main uncertainty is that drafting and review could stall, or the eventual statement could remain a framework or ongoing negotiation rather than clearly accepting a qualifying diplomatic agreement.
Claude Sonnet 5
48% yes
Likely but uncertain — progress has been steady (coordinates agreed, joint statement in final drafting as of mid-October), suggesting momentum toward a formal announcement within weeks, but prior reporting shows repeated incremental steps without a finalized, declarative joint agreement yet. The main risk is further delay in formalizing the 'permanent' arrangement past Nov 30 despite technical agreement being largely done.
Gemini 3.8 Flash
72% yes
Likely yes — Iran and Oman have already agreed on key technical points including route coordinates and revenue sharing, and were reportedly in final drafting as of mid-October 2026. With over a month remaining before the November 30 deadline, finalizing and formally announcing the corridor agreement is the expected next step. The main risk is that unresolved technicalities, broader regional geopolitical friction, or diplomatic delays push the formal joint declaration past the deadline.
Grok 4.6
68% yes
Likely yes — Iran and Oman have already agreed corridor coordinates and are in final drafting of a joint statement, which would qualify as a diplomatic instrument on Hormuz traffic management. Five weeks remain and both sides have publicly confirmed progress toward an announcement. Delays in the drafting/review process or a statement that only describes ongoing talks rather than acceptance could still prevent resolution by Nov 30.
DeepSeek V4 Pro
68% yes
Likely yes — the recent October statements about agreed coordinates and final drafting suggest the sides are close to announcing a formal agreement, and the November 30 deadline gives about five weeks for that to materialize. The main risk is that the joint statement remains in review or is framed as a technical arrangement rather than a binding diplomatic instrument, which could fall short of the resolution rules.
Qwen 3.8 Max
45% yes
Probably not — while Iran and Oman have made significant progress (coordinates agreed, joint statement in 'final drafting' as of Oct 17), no final agreement has been announced as of today, and the resolution rules require a clear, unambiguous declarative acceptance rather than references to ongoing work. The pattern of repeated 'almost done' statements without a formal announcement suggests lingering disagreements or procedural delays. The main risk to this call is that the 'final drafting' language from Oct 17 could genuinely materialize into a signed agreement within the remaining ~5 weeks.
Mistral Medium 3.5
75% yes
Likely yes — the joint statements and progress on coordinates suggest a formal agreement is imminent. The main risk is last-minute political or technical delays pushing the announcement past November 30.
Kimi K3
62% yes
Likely yes — coordinates have been agreed, revenue-sharing understandings reported, and both sides say the joint statement is in final drafting, leaving five-plus weeks to announce acceptance of a corridor agreement that would clearly qualify. The main risk is that talks slip or the announcement is framed as 'progress toward' rather than acceptance of a concluded agreement, which the rules explicitly exclude.
GLM 5.3
65% yes
Likely yes — as of mid-October Iran's foreign ministry said route coordinates were agreed and a joint statement was in final drafting, suggesting a concluded agreement is close. However, drafting/review language and the history of prolonged technical talks mean it could slip past November 30. The main risk is that only a temporary corridor announcement emerges, or talks stall again before the deadline.
MiMo V2.6 Pro
62% yes
Likely yes — the corridor's coordinates are agreed and the joint statement is reportedly in final drafting, which suggests a formal announcement is close and the resolution bar (an announced agreement on traffic management) is fairly low. But as of today no final signed/announced instrument exists, and the rules require an unambiguous acceptance announcement from both sides, not just statements about ongoing work. The main risk is that drafting slips past Nov 30 or the announcement remains framed as a temporary/technical arrangement without clear commitments.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if a diplomatic agreement between Oman and Iran over traffic in the strait of Hormuz is announced by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET.
A diplomatic agreement refers to an official agreement, treaty, deal, or substantially similar diplomatic instrument that establishes agreed actions, policies, obligations, or commitments between Oman and Iran.
A qualifying diplomatic agreement must establish Iranian or Omani policies, obligations, or commitments aimed at managing, permitting, restoring, or increasing vessel or shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, including agreements defining vessel traffic corridors, fee collection policies, or other management policies.
All listed countries must announce their acceptance of the same qualifying diplomatic agreement for the Payout Condition to be met. A joint announcement will qualify, as will separate announcements from each entity of its own acceptance of an agreement which, taken together, directly indicate that all the listed countries accepted the same agreement. Separate announcements of individual policies will not qualify if the policies are not announced as part of a diplomatic agreement.
Each announcement must be a declarative statement that clearly and unambiguously communicates acceptance of an agreement. Statements that reference ongoing negotiations or a prospective agreement, or that allude to or express support for an agreement without confirming acceptance of the agreement, do not qualify. A qualifying announcement need not reference the agreement by name or use specific terminology, provided it clearly communicates acceptance of an agreement.
Whether announcements from the listed countries represent a diplomatic agreement and whether such an agreement qualifies will be primarily determined through the announcements themselves. Where an announcement is made by all listed countries but, based on the announcements, it remains ambiguous whether the announcements represent a qualifying diplomatic agreement between the countries, this market will remain open until either i) definitive confirmation that the announcements represent a qualifying diplomatic agreement between the listed entities is achieved through further announcements from the listed countries or a consensus of credible reporting or ii) 14 calendar days (ET) have passed after the date that the last country made their first potentially qualifying announcement. If, at the end of the fourteenth calenda...
