As I understand it, this question ends in April 1st, 2025, which means it runs until April 1st 2026 - 19 more months. Am I reading this right?

As such, the odds of a YES outcome due to "normal" mortality should be increasing with time. As many of you have pointed out, Khamenei is 85 years old and though he surely has access to the best possible medical care, time is unforgiven to us all and we still have a year and a half to run, although we are only forecasting for the next year.

As I see this, the odds of a YES outcome can be derived from the mortality odds plus other (eg. coup, voluntary stepping down or assassination). In the short term, these seem very unlikely as he seams to have a strong grip on Iran's internal life and any foreign attempt implies a massive risk of an all-right Iranian involvement in the middle east war,. 

Good luck to all.

Yes I understand that we are forecasting one year at a time (maybe I didn't make that clear). My point is that the odds should increase with time (if all other aspects remain unchanged - admittedly unlikely, specially now) and be fairly linear (I mean, with known information, the odds of next year death should be lower, but not too distant, from the odds of a death 1 to 2 years from now, but not next year).

Good luck.

Small adjustment. NVIDIA is still about 500B away from the top spot
