Polymarket Odds of Strait of Hormuz Reopening Before April Drop to 31%

The prediction market (event-based forecasting platform) showed a sharp decline from 77% on March 10 as Iran warned it could fully close the waterway if Trump attacks its energy facilities.

Fact Check
The claim accurately reflects the data from Polymarket as reported by BlockBeats and AOL in the context of the March 2026 Middle East crisis. The 31% figure specifically refers to the probability of the strait reopening by the end of April (April 30). The drop from 77% on March 10 is explicitly cited in the BlockBeats report. The geopolitical context (Trump's ultimatum and Iran's counter-threats) is widely corroborated by mainstream outlets like Al Jazeera and the BBC.
