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 underwent a major transition in early March 2026 when Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes, with his son Mojtaba Khamenei appointed successor by the Assembly of Experts amid the escalating war. Recent intelligence assessments from U.S. and Israeli sources, reported in early April, indicate Mojtaba remains severely injured from the same strikes—suffering facial burns, leg trauma requiring prosthetics, and possible unconsciousness in Qom—rendering him unable to participate in decision-making or public appearances. This opacity fuels trader focus on the regime's opaque succession process, where the Assembly of Experts and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hold sway, alongside ongoing ceasefire negotiations and domestic stability pressures that could precipitate another leadership change before year-end.
