Ohyryzko's Analysis: Why the US Hesitates to Target Putin After Khamenei's Death.
The Death of Khamenei and Its Consequences
According to TSN.ua: A joint US-Israeli operation resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, sparking debate about the potential removal of Vladimir Putin. Former Ukrainian Foreign Ministry head Volodymyr Ohyryzko suggested the United States may refrain from drastic action against the Russian president due to the risk of severe negative repercussions.
Ohyryzko noted that if US President Donald Trump can establish control over the global oil market, he would then be able to dictate terms. The expert simultaneously emphasized that
“his primary focus will be on his own interests.”This analysis comes amid heightened global tensions following the operation in Iran.
Geopolitical Challenges
Discussions about potentially removing Putin, framed by Khamenei's death, raise questions about US dependency on the Iranian situation and Washington's possible plans for the region. The international community is closely monitoring developments, as the actions by the US and Israel could significantly alter the regional balance of power.
The post-Khamenei landscape may influence US strategic decisions concerning both Iran and Russia. The issue of controlling the oil market remains a key factor in shaping Washington's foreign policy, given the critical importance of stable energy supplies for the global economy.
Simultaneously, leadership changes in pivotal nations could lead to new geopolitical challenges, requiring careful analysis and strategic planning from the international community.
