Supreme Leader Khamenei consolidating control by sidelining President Pezeshkian and empowering IRGC hardliners, undermining civilian diplomatic authority. US-Iran trust eroded by failed talks and alleged MoU violations. Regional powers (Oman) positioning as mediators. Israel monitoring internal Iranian divisions.
Similar to 1979-1981 Iranian Revolution period when hardline factions marginalized moderates, preventing diplomatic resolution and leading to prolonged conflict; echoes 2015 JCPOA dynamics where hardliners opposed negotiations.

Governments may implement strategic petroleum reserve releases, negotiate alternative shipping routes, strengthen defense alliances, impose additional sanctions, or establish emergency trade agreements. Central banks may adjust monetary policy in response to inflation concerns.
