One hundred days after Iran’s protests erupted, the regime remains strained. The odds for the regime falling by April 30 sit at 1% YES, while the probability for a fall by May 31 is 3% YES.

The markets show limited movement despite the crackdown and international military involvement. The April 30 market is nearly unchanged, with traders skeptical about a quick regime change. The May 31 market also holds steady, suggesting traders expect a longer timeline.

The June 30 market prices odds at 9.5% YES, a 6-point increase over the April 30 contract. That term structure points to trader expectations of a mid-year catalyst rather than an imminent collapse.

Trading activity tells its own story. The April 30 sub-market has $11,521 in real USDC volume, while May 31 sees $13,145. Face value is much higher, but actual dollars committed remain low, a sign of cautious conviction. Moving the April 30 market by 5 points would require $35,587 in depth, meaning a significant shift needs either a large influx of trades or a major geopolitical event.

Protests and economic collapse have not yet triggered a regime fall, but sustained unrest and international pressure keep the situation unstable. At 1¢, buying YES for an April regime fall pays $1, a 100x return. For May, YES shares at 3¢ pay $1, a 33x return, which requires belief in a near-term regime crisis.

Watch for shifts in IRGC loyalty, major defections, or international diplomatic moves. Any significant public appearance or absence of key figures like Mojtaba Khamenei could move these markets.
