Recent NOTAM closing western Tehran FIR airports until May 25 is partial and does not qualify as a major closure under the market rules.Iranian authorities denied a broader NOTAM, indicating no immediate plans for a nationwide closure.Historical precedent: major closures occurred in January 2026 and April 2024, suggesting a base rate of roughly 1-2 per year, but the current period has already seen one qualifying closure in January 2026.

Iran has already issued a NOTAM closing most airports in the western Tehran FIR until May 25, 2026, which is a partial closure but does not meet the 'major closure' criteria because it does not affect at least two of the five specified airports (IKA, THR, MHD, SYZ, IFN) and is limited in scope. However, the Polymarket market shows a 26% chance for a closure by June 30, and the recent denial of a broader NOTAM suggests ongoing tensions. Given the pattern of periodic closures due to military or security concerns, there is a moderate but not high probability of a qualifying major closure by June 30, as such events are relatively rare and require broad impact.

Recent NOTAMs indicate partial regional closures, not full national closureOfficial Iranian aviation authorities deny new broad airspace restrictionsPast major closures are rare and usually linked to significant events

Recent data shows Iran has issued temporary regional airspace closures (e.g., western Tehran FIR until May 25) but no indication of a full or major national airspace closure affecting multiple major airports by June 30. Iran's Civil Aviation Organization denies new nationwide restrictions and states flights continue as normal. Past major closures have been rare and tied to specific geopolitical events, with the current environment showing limited partial closures rather than a broad shutdown. Market sentiment also reflects a relatively low probability (~26%) for closure by June 30.

Iran has demonstrated a pattern of intermittent, localized, or temporary airspace restrictions throughout 2026, often linked to military drills or heightened regional tensions. While the country has already implemented a nationwide closure earlier this year [iranintl.com](https://www.iranintl.com/en/202603035275), recent restrictions have been more targeted, such as the late May western FIR closure [defconlevel.com](https://www.defconlevel.com/alert/2026-05-22-iran-issues-notam-closing-most-airports-in-western-tehran-fir-until-may-25).

Recent history shows that Iran has closed its airspace multiple times in 2026, but these closures have been either partial or temporary. The most recent closure was in the western part of the Tehran FIR, which does not qualify as a major closure under the given definition. While there is a pattern of periodic closures, the frequency and scope suggest that a major closure by June 30 is not highly likely but still possible.

Based on current credible reporting, Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly incapacitated and sidelined, but the market requires a formal cessation of his de facto leadershipโ€”such as an official announcement or removalโ€”by June 30. With only 24 days left and no such announcement yet, the base rate for sudden leadership changes in Iran is very low. Polymarket odds (6-12%) and the lack of a clear trigger event suggest a probability around 8%.

Current prediction markets and expert analyses place a low probability (around 6%) on a leadership change by June 30, 2026. Despite internal power shifts within Iran's political and military structures, no official announcement or credible confirmation of Mojtaba Khamenei's removal or resignation has occurred. The Supreme Leader position remains formally occupied, and the IRGC's consolidation appears to maintain the existing leadership facade rather than a formal change.

Despite recent political instability and the resignation of President Pezeshkian, there is no credible evidence suggesting that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is at risk of losing his position before the June 30 deadline. While the IRGC has consolidated power, they appear to be governing through the existing clerical structure rather than replacing the Supreme Leader, and market sentiment remains heavily aligned with a 'No' outcome.

Recent presidential resignation does not impact Supreme Leader's positionIRGC consolidation without formal leadership transferNo official announcement or public removal of Mojtaba Khamenei

The current market odds and expert analysis suggest a very low probability of an Iranian leadership change by June 30. The primary factors include the recent resignation of the president, which does not directly affect the Supreme Leader's position, and the IRGC's consolidation of power without a formal transfer of leadership. The lack of an official announcement or public removal of Mojtaba Khamenei further supports this low probability.

The market defines a 'Yes' resolution as Mojtaba Khamenei ceasing to be the de facto leader of Iran via removal, resignation, detention, or loss of power before June 30, 2026.Recent reports suggest President Pezeshkian resigned and hardline IRGC factions have consolidated power, with Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly in intensive care and excluded from leadership [Iran International, May 31](https://IranInternational.com).Despite internal power shifts, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei remains the formal Supreme Leader, and no official succession or removal of Mojtaba has been announced [Critical Threats, May 31](https://criticalthreats.org).

While there are credible reports of Mojtaba Khamenei being sidelined and IRGC consolidating power, no official announcement of his removal or resignation has occurred. The formal structure of the Supreme Leadership remains intact, and resolution requires a de facto change in Mojtaba's status. Given the lack of confirmed succession and the regime's tendency to maintain appearances, a resolution event before June 30 is unlikely but not impossible, warranting a low but non-zero probability.

Three consecutive missed withdrawal deadlines (original 60-day, Feb 18, April 23 extensions)Current prediction market odds: ~12-15% for June 30 withdrawalUnmet conditions: Lebanese army deployment and Hezbollah disarmament in southern Lebanon

Prediction markets consistently price a June 30 withdrawal at 12-15%, reflecting three missed deadlines and unmet conditions (Lebanese army deployment, Hezbollah disarmament). The latest ceasefire extension in April 2026 pushed the deadline to mid-May, leaving a narrow window for a full withdrawal by June 30. Given the pattern of delays and the lack of a diplomatic breakthrough, the probability is low but not zero, as a sudden U.S. ultimatum or security agreement could still force a withdrawal.

Prediction market odds of 9-16% for a June 30 resolutionKharg Island's strategic importance as Iran's main oil export hubHigh military threshold required for 'loss of control' per market rules

Prediction markets currently price a 'Yes' resolution by June 30 at roughly 9-16%, reflecting a low but non-zero chance of a full loss of Iranian control. Kharg Island is Iran's primary oil export terminal, heavily defended and strategically vital, so a complete takeover by another state or force within three weeks would require a major military operation or sudden political collapseโ€”both very unlikely given current geopolitical conditions. The high bar set by the resolution criteria (excluding temporary raids or disruptions) further reduces the probability, as even significant attacks would not qualify unless sustained control is established.

Current prediction markets assign about a 15-16% chance that Kharg Island will no longer be under Iranian control by June 30, 2026. Given the island's strategic importance and Iran's strong military presence, a loss of control would likely require significant geopolitical or military developments, which seem unlikely in the near term.

This reflects the collective judgment of traders who consider the geopolitical stability of the region and the significant military and strategic value of the island to Iran.

President Trump has already announced an indefinite extension of the ceasefire with Iran as of late April 2026, with no set end date, and has stated the ceasefire will continue until Iran submits a unified proposal. The extension was publicly confirmed by the U.S. government and is ongoing, making it highly likely that by June 7, 2026, the U.S. will have officially announced this extension or a successor agreement.

President Trump has already transitioned the ceasefire to an 'indefinite' status as of April 2026, meaning the current agreement is already in effect until a 'unified proposal' is submitted or the administration decides otherwise. Because the ceasefire is currently open-ended, it is unlikely the administration will issue a new, distinct announcement extending it by June 7, as they have already established the framework for its continuation. The current diplomatic focus is on the stalled negotiations rather than a need for a new extension announcement.

The current ceasefire has been extended indefinitely by President Trump, with no new deadline set. However, key factors such as Iran's internal government fractures, the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and the lack of a unified proposal from Iran suggest that while an extension is possible, it is not guaranteed by June 7. The diplomatic efforts mediated by Pakistan and the UN's support for de-escalation provide some optimism, but the unresolved issues and the potential for renewed hostilities weigh against a definitive extension.

As of June 6, 2026, President Trump has already extended the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, without setting a new deadline, based on the request from Pakistan and the fractured state of Iran's government [bbc.com](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg4yr90jr2o). The extension was described as lasting 'until such time as' Iran presents a unified proposal, which is an open-ended condition rather than a new agreement or time-bound extension [cnbc.com](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/21/trump-iran-ceasefire.html). No new announcement regarding a formal agreement or further extension has been reported since then. Given that the current ceasefire framework is already in place without a fixed expiration and no indication of a new announcement imminent, the likelihood of a qualifying new U.S. announcement by June 7 is low.

The deadline is June 15, 2026, which is just 9 days from now, leaving very little time for a comprehensive permanent peace deal to be negotiated, signed, and formally adopted by both governments.History: US-Iran relations have been hostile for decades, with no permanent peace deal ever achieved. A 'permanent peace deal' requires a definitive end to military hostilities, which goes far beyond a temporary ceasefire.Recent context: The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on April 7, 2026, but that is explicitly temporary and does not qualify. No credible news reports indicate that final terms for a permanent deal have been reached.

By June 6, 2026, just 9 days remain before the June 15 deadline. The US and Iran only reached a temporary two-week ceasefire in April, with no reports of ongoing negotiations for a permanent deal. The Polymarket crowd probabilities for 'No' are very high (86-93%), and historical base rates for permanent peace deals between longtime adversaries forming in such a short window are extremely low. Without any credible evidence of a formal agreement being imminent, the probability of a qualifying permanent peace deal by June 15 is very small.

Current prediction markets and available information indicate a very low probability (around 7%) of a permanent peace deal between the US and Iran by June 15, 2026. Despite ongoing negotiations and temporary ceasefires, no definitive permanent agreement has been announced or appears imminent within this short timeframe. The complexity of US-Iran relations and historical difficulties in reaching lasting peace agreements further reduce the likelihood of a deal by this date.
