Iran’s internet blackout reaches 44 days amid regime stability concerns

Iran’s nationwide internet blackout has stretched to 44 days, and the odds of the Iranian regime falling by June 30 sit at 9.5% YES, down from 14% a week ago.

The decline from 14% to 9.5% shows traders marking down the probability of regime collapse even as the communication shutdown continues. The June 30 market has 81 days until resolution. The blackout is unprecedented in duration and signals severe internal pressure, but traders are pricing in the regime’s track record of surviving protests.

Trading volume is $23,487 in USDC, with $32,505 needed to move the price 5 percentage points. The largest move in the last 24 hours was a half-point drop, pointing to mild selling pressure without any sharp repositioning. The market is largely static, with no new information forcing a reassessment.

The blackout cuts both ways. It limits protest coordination, but it also broadcasts government desperation, which could erode public confidence and military loyalty. At 9.5¢, a YES share pays $1 if the regime falls by June 30, a 10.53x return. That bet only makes sense if you believe the blackout will trigger political fractures or defections within the regime’s power structure.

Watch for Mojtaba Khamenei’s public absence, unscheduled Assembly of Experts meetings, or IRGC defections. Any of these would likely push the YES price sharply higher.
