No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 1% right now.
Mojtaba Khamenei's continued absence from public view, including his father's funeral, signals a potential power struggle or security concerns within Iran's leadership, making a public sighting before July 31 highly unlikely despite the regime's need to project stability.
What's driving it
- • Mojtaba Khamenei did not appear at his father Ali Khamenei's funeral, while three other sons did (Reuters, Jul 6), fueling speculation about his status.
- • His absence has sparked widespread internet mystery and media coverage (CNN, Jul 11), reinforcing the narrative that he is deliberately staying out of sight.
- • The odds dropped 5 points in the last week, likely driven by the lack of any credible sighting or official confirmation of his whereabouts since the funeral (BBC, Jul 12).
The case for YES
- • The regime may force a public appearance before July 31 to assert Mojtaba's authority and dispel rumors of a leadership vacuum.
- • A staged event, such as a meeting with military commanders or a state ceremony, could be arranged to project continuity.
- • Foreign media or intelligence agencies might obtain and release authentic footage of him, even if brief.
The case for NO
- • Mojtaba Khamenei's absence from his father's funeral suggests he may be under severe security threat or facing internal opposition, making public exposure too risky.
- • The regime has a history of keeping successors hidden during transitions, as seen with the delayed emergence of previous leaders.
- • With only 10 days left until the deadline, the complete lack of any leaked image or official photo since the assassination strongly indicates deliberate seclusion.
What to watch
- • Any official announcement of a public appearance by Mojtaba Khamenei, such as for Friday prayers or a state address, would sharply increase Yes odds.
- • A leak of authentic footage by a foreign outlet or social media user before July 31 would move odds toward Yes.
- • Continued silence from Iranian state media about his whereabouts through the end of July would reinforce No odds.
