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, anchored by his recent public appearances and statements despite persistent health rumors at age 85. Key drivers include escalating Israel-Iran tensions, with Israel's October 26 airstrikes on Iranian military sites prompting Khamenei's vow of resolve but measured response, underscoring regime resilience via the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. No official succession signals have emerged, even after June's presidential election elevating reformist Masoud Pezeshkian under Khamenei's oversight. Traders eye the U.S. election's fallout on sanctions and proxy conflicts as potential catalysts, though internal stability remains intact amid suppressed protests.
