Trader consensus favors "No" at 74% for an Iran coup attempt by June 30, driven by the absence of credible reports or indicators of internal military rebellion or overthrow plots. Following President Ebrahim Raisi's fatal helicopter crash in May, Iran's snap presidential election proceeded smoothly on June 28, with reformist Masoud Pezeshkian leading the first round and advancing to a July 5 runoff, signaling regime continuity under Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Security forces, including the IRGC, show no signs of defection amid Israel-Iran airstrike exchanges, which targeted facilities rather than leadership. Historical precedent of suppressing dissent reinforces low coup probability absent major fractures.

A coup attempt is defined as a coordinated and deliberate effort by military, security forces, or other state actors (or factions thereof) to overthrow or unlawfully seize control of the Iranian government or its leadership. Revolutionary actions by non-state forces, isolated protests, or general unrest will not alone qualify.
Claims by the Iranian government that a coup attempt was foiled—such as through arrests or disruption of a planned operation—will only count toward a "Yes" resolution if credible independent sources widely report and explicitly characterize the event as a coup attempt. Foiled plots or arrests that occur without any attempted execution of the coup will not qualify.
The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
