Iran's post-conflict environment after the February 2026 war, U.S.-Israeli strikes, and assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has intensified internal factional tensions and hardliner accusations of coup plotting against transitional figures like President Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf. No widely reported military or organized coup attempt has materialized through mid-August 2026, keeping the implied probability near 12% through year-end. Ongoing power struggles, regime change discussions by external actors, and calls for vengeance or stability among IRGC and clerical networks represent the main variables. Resolution depends on verifiable reporting of an attempt by December 31, 2026, with scheduled diplomatic or leadership transitions potentially shifting dynamics.

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.
