This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, ceases to be the de facto leader of Iran at any point between market creation and the listed date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Mojtaba Khamenei will be considered to no longer be the de facto leader of Iran if he is removed from power, is detained, or otherwise loses his position or is prevented from acting as the de facto leader of Iran within this market's timeframe. An official announcement of Mojtaba Khamenei’s resignation or removal will qualify for a "Yes" resolution regardless of when the announced departure goes into effect. The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.Iran’s supreme leader position transitioned in March 2026 after Ali Khamenei’s death in February strikes, with the Assembly of Experts selecting his son Mojtaba Khamenei via a three-member interim council under Article 111. Mojtaba, previously influential in the Office of the Supreme Leader and tied to principlist networks and the IRGC, consolidated power amid the 2026 Iran conflict and domestic pressures. Trader probabilities for his removal remain low through 2026–mid-2027, reflecting regime continuity signals, limited public opposition visibility, and absence of major new military or diplomatic shocks in recent months. Key variables include escalation or de-escalation in U.S.-Israel-Iran tensions, internal elite cohesion, economic sanctions effects, and any Assembly of Experts or clerical challenges before scheduled resolution windows.
