## Article Body
Mojtaba Khamenei is now guiding Iranian negotiations, with Qalibaf managing the talks amid ongoing US-Iran tensions. This development follows the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in February 2026, which escalated the conflict. Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father, has been leading from seclusion due to injuries. The current negotiations are influenced by a “board-like” decision-making structure, with significant input from IRGC generals. A ceasefire framework, mediated by Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt, has been approved, though internal divisions in Iran persist, notably on the inclusion of nuclear issues in talks.
## Market Interpretation
The impact of Mojtaba Khamenei’s direct involvement in negotiations appears moderate, as the structured management approach suggests stability. The market for the fall of the Iranian regime by April 30 shows a decrease in YES probability, consistent with the perceived stability brought by Khamenei’s leadership. Similarly, the market for leadership change by December 31 sees a reduction in YES probability, reflecting consolidation concerns.
## What to Watch
Observers should monitor any changes in IRGC support and international mediation efforts, as these could influence market perceptions. Developments in ceasefire negotiations and internal Iranian politics will be crucial in shaping future market movements. Key dates include the possible extension of the current ceasefire and any public appearances or communications from Mojtaba Khamenei.
