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.Iran’s supreme leadership underwent a major shift in March 2026 when Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes and the Assembly of Experts elected his son Mojtaba as successor. Mojtaba has remained out of public view since sustaining serious injuries in the same attack, prompting persistent questions about his health, decision-making capacity, and whether the IRGC now exercises primary influence over policy. Iranian officials, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, have stated that Mojtaba remains alive and holds final authority, yet no recent visual confirmation has emerged. Ongoing conflict, economic strain from sanctions and blockades, and potential diplomatic developments around the Strait of Hormuz or ceasefire talks represent the main variables that could trigger further leadership questions or institutional adjustments in the coming months.
