Iranian missile incident raises doubts about regime fall odds, now at 13.5%: FT

An Iranian missile broke apart midair over Haifa, overcoming Israeli defenses and resulting in four civilian deaths. The “Iranian regime fall by June 30” market is at 13.5% YES, up slightly from 12% yesterday.

The missile’s evasion of Israeli defenses highlights Iran’s military capability, which dampens prospects for a regime collapse. Despite a small uptick in odds, the market remains below the 20% YES seen a week ago, reflecting skepticism about an imminent regime fall.

Real money behind these odds shows $439,688 daily trading, with actual USDC trading at $59,602. It takes $195,733 to shift the market by 5 points, indicating significant depth. The largest recent move was a 1-point spike at 7:21 PM, suggesting traders are cautious without further developments.

Current events suggest Iran’s regime is stable. The missile incident underscores its military capability, a bearish indicator for the “regime fall” market. A YES bet at 13.5% requires belief in a regime collapse within 88 days, unlikely given the geopolitical climate.

Watch for signals from Mojtaba Khamenei and the IRGC Supreme Council. Changes in leadership visibility or unexpected Assembly of Experts activity could shift the market. Iran’s military efficacy will likely keep regime fall odds low.
