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.Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's assassination in early March 2026 by US-Israel strikes triggered Iran's opaque succession process, with the Assembly of Experts appointing his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as new Supreme Leader on March 8 amid escalating conflict and domestic protests. This hardliner continuity, bolstered by IRGC ties, has sustained regime structures despite Trump's public dismissal of the younger Khamenei as a "lightweight." Traders weigh if this familial handoff qualifies as substantive leadership change or foreshadows further instability from airstrikes, potential no-confidence challenges, or diplomatic pressures before December deadlines. Upcoming US signals and military developments remain key catalysts for market shifts.
