- Mohammed Ghalibaf out as Speaker of Iran Parliament by December 31, 2026?8¢8%
Ghalibaf’s position as Speaker of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly remains stable following his re-election in May 2026 for a seventh consecutive term with 235 votes. Internal challenges from a small group of ultraconservative lawmakers in June over his role in US negotiations did not gain traction, as supporters retained a clear majority. Recent parliamentary sessions and public statements through early November 2026 show him actively leading on diplomatic responses and security matters amid ongoing regional tensions. Key upcoming factors include any scheduled Majlis leadership votes, coalition shifts within conservative factions, or developments in indirect US talks that could alter internal alignments before the market’s resolution date.
