This one still feels very unlikely. Even if Iran feels negative impacts from a possible war with Israel I don’t think it will go so far as his removal. The only way this happened is if he gets sick or dies

I have to go with the crowd on this one given Israel’s plans for a ground invasion. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll adjust my score back down

Ticked up slightly given likelihood of Israel war with Hezbollah. This might have spillover effects that drag Iran into the war or have more tangible impacts that affect Iran’s ability to govern legitimately

The planned ground invasion basically seems like war. I don’t know how it won’t spiral unless they call it off

If it happens it will happen sooner or later. I’m updating my forecast to be more in line with my raised forecast on the other question of if war will happen

I think the regime still has too firm a grip on power. While protests may happen and the majority of people are definitely unhappy, the crackdowns have been harsh and I think it’s unlikely we’ll see any protests of the scale of what happened after de death of Mahsa Amini

Why do you think you're right?

I’m still at 15% because the latest trade of strikes didn’t escalate into war. That to me is a good sign that both sides still don’t want war and are still testing limits for face

Why might you be wrong?

Things can spiral quickly and since they’re still resting limits, one side or the other could easily cross the line
