Iran resumes Tehran flights after US-Israel strikes, signaling stability

Iran has reopened commercial flights from Tehrans airport for the first time since US-Israel strikes two months ago. The Polymarket contract on the Iranian regime falling by April 30 now trades at 0.4%.

Traders read the flight resumption as a stabilization signal. The April 30 market shows a 0.4% chance of regime change, down from 1% a day ago. The May 31 contract is at 3.7%, down from 5% over the same period. The June 30 market sits at 8.5%, showing a modest increase further out on the term structure.

The June market has $35,587 in daily USDC volume. It takes $16,830 to move the odds by 5 points, which points to institutional-sized positioning. The largest price move in the last day was a 1-point shift.

Reopening Tehran‘s airport means the regime has enough operational control to resume commercial aviation, which pushes against near-term collapse scenarios. A YES share for the regime falling by June 30 trades at 8.5¢, offering a 11.8x return. For that bet to pay off, you’d need to expect major destabilizing events in the coming months: leadership defections, mass protests, or a second round of strikes.

Watch for high-profile defections or moves by the Assembly of Experts. Regional tensions remain high, but absent further military escalation, regime-collapse odds are likely to keep falling.
