This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Islamic Republic of Iran’s current ruling regime is overthrown, collapsed, or otherwise ceases to govern by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. This requires a broad consensus of reporting indicating that core structures of the Islamic Republic (e.g. the office of the Supreme Leader, the Guardian Council, IRGC control under clerical authority) have been dissolved, incapacitated, or replaced by a fundamentally different governing system or otherwise lost de facto power over a majority of the population of Iran. This could occur via revolution, civil war, military coup, or voluntary abdication, but only qualifies if the Islamic Republic no longer exercises sovereign power. Routine political events such as elections, reforms, or leadership succession do not qualify. Internal coups or power shifts that preserve the Islamic Republic’s core structures also do not qualify. Only a clear break in continuity—such as a new provisional government, revolutionary council, or constitution replacing the Islamic Republic will qualify. Partial loss of territory or challenges from rebel or exile groups will not qualify unless the Islamic Republic no longer administers the majority of the Iranian population within Iran. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. Trader consensus reflects near-certainty that the Iranian regime will endure past May 31, driven by its proven ability to suppress widespread 2025–2026 protests through brutal crackdowns, internet blackouts exceeding 1,000 hours, mass arrests nearing 54,000, and ongoing executions—such as eight PMOI members in early May amid sporadic resistance unit actions in cities like Mashhad and Zahedan. Despite economic strain from the U.S. naval blockade enforced since April 13, rial devaluation, and prior U.S.-Israel strikes in February, the IRGC and security forces remain loyal with no verified defections, maintaining control after quelling uprisings by late March. Only extraordinary scenarios like IRGC mutiny, leadership vacuum following Supreme Leader transitions, or escalated foreign military intervention could shift odds in the tight 18-day window.
