Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly incapacitated and under 24/7 medical supervision, while Iran’s generals manage the country. The odds of an Iranian regime fall by June 30 are at 8.5% YES, up from 6% a week ago.

The June 30 market is the main focus, with 68 days remaining. It trades at 8.5% YES. The regime fall by April 30 contract is barely alive at 0.7% YES, showing near-zero belief in immediate collapse. The May 31 contract sits at 4.2% YES, with some traders pricing in a possible escalation over the next two months.

The June 30 contract has a face value of $385,189/day but only $30,969 in actual USDC traded. It takes $26,254 to move the price 5 points. Liquidity is thin relative to notional value, which means the market is pricing in real uncertainty but few traders are putting large sums behind it.

Mojtaba Khamenei’s condition raises the question of succession. A power vacuum could produce internal friction or invite external pressure, either of which could accelerate regime instability. At 8.5% YES, a bet on a June regime fall pays roughly 11-to-1 if the situation deteriorates. But there are no mass protests or significant military defections reported so far, which limits the near-term probability.

Watch for signs of IRGC infighting or defections, and any statements from the Assembly of Experts. These would be the clearest signals that internal power dynamics are shifting in ways that threaten the regime’s hold.
