Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly cautioned President Masoud Pezeshkian that any further resignation attempts will be accepted, according to social media reports from Iran International. This development follows persistent rumors of Pezeshkian’s previous resignation efforts amid tensions with hardline elements and the IRGC. Market pricing suggests increased likelihood of Pezeshkian leaving office before December 31, with YES shares currently at 16%. What to WatchMarkets will be closely monitoring any official statements from Iran’s political entities, particularly from Khamenei, the IRGC, and the presidential office. Further signs of divergence between Pezeshkian and hardline forces, or any confirmation of resignation rumors, could be consistent with a YES outcome in the market.
