    "U.S. firing on a vessel and Iran's 'clear message' that the strait stays shut are consistent with the market's refusal to price a clear resolution.",
    "The near-50% reading means the market is neither pricing a clean diplomatic breakthrough nor a permanent shutdown through year-end.",
    "Resolves via Polymarket's UMA oracle; as previously noted, the standard is likely a return to pre-crisis traffic volumes, not a political announcement alone."
