Masoud Pezeshkian out by April 30?

Web searches confirm Masoud Pezeshkian is still actively serving as President of Iran as of April 8, 2026, with recent reports (within hours) referring to him as such and no credible mentions of resignation, removal, or incapacitation since the market opened on March 24. The short 22-day window to April 30, combined with no ongoing protests, coups, or other catalysts in credible reporting, supports the analyst's assessment of negligible 'Yes' risk, validating the 'No' trade at 96¢ with a 3% edge. Iranian political inertia and resolution rules favoring 'No' on ambiguity further strengthen this.

Web searches confirm Masoud Pezeshkian remains President of Iran as of April 2026, with recent official activities, statements, and no reports of resignation, removal, or incapacitation since the market opened on March 24. The resolution criteria require official sources or consensus credible reporting for 'Yes', neither of which exists, and with only 22 days left, sudden change is implausible in Iran's political system. The 3% edge on No at 96¢ offers a solid short-term return exceeding 20% annualized threshold with near-certain (>99%) true probability.
