The market heavily favors fewer than five posts from the @khamenei_ir account during the August 7–14 window, reflecting the account’s established pattern of infrequent activity since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death earlier in 2026. Official statements now come primarily from successor Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei via a separate account, while the original feed has shifted toward archival quotes and pre-existing material on topics such as Arbaeen commemorations and historical events. Recent posts in early August 2026 continued this low-volume approach, with no surge tied to current diplomatic or regional developments. Traders price the outcome based on this sustained low frequency rather than any imminent change in posting cadence or new official directives.
