Hormuz Blockade Priced Wrong: US Naval Escort Near-Certain

With USO surging +12% and the US-Iran conflict market at 56%, Polymarket is pricing a US naval escort through Hormuz at just 16.5% by April 30 — a massive mismatch. The edge data shows 75+ cents of executable edge here. US military doctrine virtually guarantees commercial escort operations when oil supply lines are threatened, and the geopolitical pressure is building fast. Buy YES on the escort market before this gap closes.
