Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi pointed out "two major miscalculations" by #US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The first, Marandi explained, was that contrary to the United States and "Israel's" attempt at a "regime change" in #Iran, the two have revived the "revolutionary fervor" among Iranians. Marandi further stated that the second miscalculation that will continue to "haunt" #Trump and Netanyahu is "pushing Iran to take control of the Strait of Hormuz."

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi singled the UAE out of Arab countries aiding the US-Israeli aggression on Iran, saying that it has a "particularly sinister role" in the war. Professor Marandi pointed to the public cooperation between the UAE and "Israel" and the attacks launched by Emiratis themselves against Iran as evidence to label the Emirates as aggressors.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi described the war on Iran as a major miscalculation by the United States, arguing that Iran sees no benefit in a ceasefire at this stage. According to Marandi, Tehran believes that only sustained pressure will deter future attacks, warning that a ceasefire would give Washington and its allies time to regroup and strike again. Marandi also highlighted the broader consequences of the conflict, including rising energy prices and increasing international pressure on Washington.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi argued that while the United States has long projected power through its bases across the Gulf, it still fundamentally misunderstands Iran, its politics, society, and military capabilities. Marandi says decades of confrontation have allowed Iran to study Washington closely, from its military structure to its domestic politics, while American policymakers rely on superficial assumptions and outside narratives that underestimate the Islamic Republic.

Professor Mohammad Marandi tells Al Mayadeen that Iran does not seek to disrupt global shipping or harm sailors in the Strait of Hormuz, stressing that restrictions imposed by Tehran target countries that backed US and Israeli actions against Iran. Marandi argues that Tehran changed its policy in the Strait of Hormuz only after violations of the ceasefire agreement by US President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu.

Professor Mohammad Marandi said the Western narrative around the US-Iran talks in Islamabad is being deliberately twisted. During an interview for Al Mayadeen, Marandi affirmed that Iran never discussed halting uranium enrichment. Those claims, he argued, were entirely manufactured by Western outlets to lay the groundwork for future war on Iran. By falsely portraying Iran as agreeing to terms it never accepted, the United States and its media ecosystem can later accuse Iran of "breaking commitments" if the US or "Israel" or both decide to attack Iran again.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen on Wednesday, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that the United States has failed in the 39 days of warfare, as well as in siege warfare. He noted that if the US siege warfare were succeeding, Washington would not be carrying out acts of aggression against Iran, adding that such threats and aggression amount to an admission of failure. Pointing to Trump’s "erratic" behavior, Professor Marandi said he believes it is largely driven by pressure from the "Zionist lobby and Israeli regime," as well as Trump’s "huge ego."

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi argued that Iran's decision to shut the Strait of Hormuz has placed US President Donald Trump before a defining choice. "Is he going to choose the United States? Or is he going to choose the Israeli regime?" Marandi asked, arguing that Trump now has "no third choice" between protecting the US economy or forcing "Israel" to halt its aggression and ceasefire violations in Lebanon. He said Iran briefly reopened the Strait to demonstrate that it sought an end to the war and expected the US to honor its commitments, but after "they didn't act," Tehran closed it again. Marandi stressed that Iran "is dead serious," insisting it will not compromise until the Israeli occupation ends its war, withdraws from Lebanon, and fully implements the agreement, warning that "Iran has even implied that if this is not enough; they are willing to go further... It will strike 'Israel'." Seyed Mohammad Marandi #Iran #WarOnIran #UnitedStates #Lebanon #AlMayadeen

"Who is in charge of the White House? Who is the real boss?" Professor Mohammad Marandi told Al Mayadeen that this uncertainty is an added issue that Iran is not negotiating. After the #US tore up the 2015 nuclear deal and then conspired against #Iran during last year’s talks and then again on February 28, culminating in joint sudden US-Israeli attacks, Tehran sees little point in trusting Washington. Marandi added, "If it is the Israeli regime and the Zionist lobby in the United States that are running the show, then negotiating with the United States is futile."

There is no agreement between Iran and the United States over a host of other issues as well," affirmed Professor Mohammad Marandi in an interview for Al Mayadeen. He explained that Trump's intention may be part of an attempt to mislead public opinion and later justify increased pressure on Iran by accusing it of changing its positions.

Professor Mohammad Marandi told Al Mayadeen that Iran’s armed forces remain on full alert amid speculations of a sudden US-Israeli assault. Marandi argued that although logic suggests Donald Trump may avoid launching a war before his sensitive trip to China, the US president remains “unpredictable.” He also stressed that Washington views Iran as the main obstacle preventing total US-Israeli domination over West Asia and North Africa, saying the Islamic Republic is the only force standing in the way of full regional hegemony. Marandi added that Iran will not “appease” the United States during negotiations and insisted Tehran’s current priority remains a ceasefire and regional peace before discussing the nuclear file.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi asserted that Iran never expected the United States to implement the memorandum of understanding, stressing that the "Iranians have no trust in the #Trump regime." He also added that "Iran knew that the #UnitedStates would drag its feet as much as possible," arguing that it had agreed to electronic signatures without a formal ceremony because of that distrust, adding that Iran's leverage lies in its control of the Strait of Hormuz. Marandi further asserted that "#Iran won the war," and warned that "Iran will continue to use that leverage" until the US fulfills its commitments, saying the future of the agreement depends on whether the US ultimately honors its side of the deal. As for the signed framework agreement between the Lebanese authorities and the Israeli occupation, Professor Marandi said it is an attempt by Washington to violate the US-Iran MoU and an attempt by the US to "undermine the agreement".

Speaking to Al Mayadeen on Friday, Professor Mohammad Marandi emphasized that the millions who took to the streets over the past week were doing far more than mourning the martyrdom of Sayyed Ali Khamenei. Instead, the colossal gatherings serve as an active demonstration of immense strength sent directly to Washington and Tel Aviv.
