The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps currently has more real power and assets than the regular army, so it is there that we will have to look for compromise figures. Marco Rubio, who influences the situation from the outside, can play an important role in this process, the political scientist added.<\/p>\n<p> Tsybulko also mentioned the heir to the Iranian throne, who is trying to establish a dialogue with the Kurds, Baloch, and Azerbaijanis to create a new state structure, but the main US demand remains the complete abandonment of nuclear materials.<\/p>\n<p> The experience of neighboring Iraq suggests that only a well-thought-out governance model will help avoid the chaos of civil war after the fall of the dictatorship, political scientist Volodymyr Tsybulko summarized.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/moscow-has-abandoned-tehran-will-there-be-a-major-war-in-the-middle-east\/\">\u201cMoscow has abandoned Tehran\u201d: will there be a major war in the Middle East?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> As a reminder, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/tsiny-na-naftu-strimko-zrostaiut-cherez-eskalatsiiu-navkolo-iranu-shcho-prohnozuiut-analityky\/\">global oil prices rose sharply<\/a> on March 2 amid the escalating conflict over Iran and risks to supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. The cost of the benchmark Brent crude reached its highest level since January 2025, showing the largest increase in 4 years.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/iran-perekryv-nayvazhlyvishyy-marshrut-postachannia-nafty-z-blyzkoho-skhodu-shcho-vidbuvaietsia-v-ormuzkiy-prototsi\/\">Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, a key route for oil supplies from the Middle East. According to journalists, a number of major companies have suspended the transportation of crude oil and fuel through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of the world&#8217;s oil consumption.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, US President Donald <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/znyshcheni-dev-iat-viyskovykh-korabliv-ta-48-kerivnykiv-tramp-rozpoviv-pro-rezultaty-udariv-ssha-ta-izrailiu-po-iranu\/\">Trump announced the killing of 48 Iranian leaders<\/a> in US and Israeli strikes.
