BlockBeats News, March 3 — Middle Eastern analysts have pointed out that Iran’s airstrikes against Gulf countries could force them to join opposing factions and escalate the war against Iran. Recently, Iran has targeted six Gulf countries with U.S. military bases to pressure President Trump to stop the war, but analysts say Iran seems to have miscalculated.
The Gulf Cooperation Council — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman — held an emergency ministerial meeting last Sunday, citing Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, setting a “red line,” and signaling that collective self-defense will be undertaken as energy disruptions and security risks increase. The message to Tehran from the GCC was clear: Iran’s attacks have actually strengthened unity among Gulf nations.
According to PolyBeats monitoring, in the prediction market Polymarket, the probabilities of “which countries will strike Iran before March 31” are: Saudi Arabia 74%, Qatar 74%, UAE 62%, Bahrain 30%.

Last year, I kept an eye on Polymarket every day. When I saw unusual activity, I would manually follow the trades. Once, I noticed a new wallet making a large purchase. I checked the news, analyzed the logic, and prepared to place an order — it took about twenty minutes. By the time I returned to the trading page, the price had already skyrocketed.
That feeling of “seeing the opportunity but not making the profit” made me realize: in prediction markets of 2026, the gap isn’t in information but in tools.
The cognitive barrier to cross-market trading is extremely high. Retail investors find it difficult to analyze and act quickly amid rapidly changing news. This article will guide you from installation to practical application, teaching you how to build your own Polymarket automated trading system.
