Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects low implied probability for an Iran leadership change—likely referring to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's tenure—by year-end, driven by the regime's stability despite his age (85) and unsubstantiated health rumors. Recent escalations, including Iran's October 1 missile barrage on Israel and Israel's limited retaliation, saw Khamenei publicly endorse the strikes, signaling his active oversight without succession signals. President Masoud Pezeshkian's July inauguration followed Ebrahim Raisi's fatal May crash, but supreme authority remains firmly with Khamenei and the Guardian Council. Upcoming UN General Assembly speeches and potential U.S. election ripple effects could heighten tensions, though no confirmed catalysts point to imminent transition.
