Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death in late February 2026, amid US and Israeli military strikes, triggered a swift appointment of his son Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's new Supreme Leader by early March, despite lacking formal Assembly of Experts endorsement. Recent intelligence reports and Iranian media indicate Mojtaba suffered severe injuries in subsequent airstrikes, rendering him incapacitated, unresponsive, and possibly requiring medical evacuation, fueling a leadership vacuum. Amid escalating conflict, IRGC pressure, and domestic protests, clerics face challenges in stabilizing succession, with no confirmed alternative leader. Traders monitor potential Assembly interventions, further strikes, or regime fractures that could prompt additional changes before year-end.
