**Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei succeeded his father Ali Khamenei in March 2026 after the latter’s assassination in late-February U.S.-Israeli strikes that opened the 2026 Iran war.** The Assembly of Experts selected Mojtaba unanimously, preserving clerical-IRGC continuity amid heavy leadership losses and active conflict. As of August 2026 the regime has consolidated around this dynastic transition despite Mojtaba’s limited public appearances and scattered reports questioning his health or capacity. Trader sentiment on the timing of any subsequent change therefore reflects expectations of near-term stability under wartime pressures, sanctions, and IRGC influence, with probabilities rising for mid-2027 or later dates as the system absorbs shocks and navigates diplomatic or military developments. No scheduled electoral or constitutional deadlines currently force an earlier transition.
