According to the Iranian Constitution, incumbent President Masoud Pezeshkian assumed office in July 2024, with his four-year term scheduled to end in 2028. For a new election to be held by June 30, 2026, an extreme event such as the President's death, resignation, or removal would need to occur by mid-May 2026 (to satisfy the 50-day election mandate). Despite geopolitical tensions, there is no credible intelligence indicating an imminent health crisis or coup. The market price correction from 11.5 cents on March 11 back to 5 cents suggests that previous fears or rumors have been dispelled. With only ~100 days remaining, the base probability of a 'black swan' event causing a vacancy is extremely low (<5%).

Hedging
Crude Oil
If a presidential election is suddenly held before June 2026, it likely implies a major political crisis or sudden leadership change (similar to 2024) destabilizing the current administration. Such sudden uncertainty would directly impact global energy markets, causing volatility in Crude Oil. Gold, as a safe haven, would see minor impacts.
