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 #AlMayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi warns that if #DonaldTrump targets Iran’s vital infrastructure, “those regimes that facilitate this attack… will be partners in crime,” stressing that without Gulf states, #Washington “could not have launched the war.” Professor Marandi said Iran will “definitely retaliate,” adding that failing to do so would invite further attacks, and that “this time #Iran is going to finish the job.” He said that Iran has focused on strategic targets, while the US and the Israeli regime have been bombing civilians. Professor Marandi explains that he has warned the people of the Gulf states to leave because Iran wants them protected, affirming that Iran has remained careful not to target people.

"I don't know if they expected the violation to be so ugly and disgusting and barbaric and so swift, but the expectation was that this ceasefire would not hold," Professor Marandi told #AlMayadeen. "And the expectation was that the Zionist regime and Netanyahu would do whatever they can in order to make sure that the region remains in conflict," he added. Seyed Marandi said that he believes that we are going to have an escalation, pointing out that #Iran has shut the Strait of #Hormuz completely. "Less ships today [April 8] have passed through the Strait of Hormuz than any other day in the past month," he said. "A ceasefire is a ceasefire; either we have a ceasefire or we don't have a ceasefire," Seyed Marandi tersely stated. Seyed Mohammad Marandi

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".

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi explains that the US siege on Iranian ports was the result of the fact that #Iran said, "No, Lebanon was supposed to be a part of the ceasefire, and it has to be a part of the ceasefire." He added, "So there's no doubt that Iran will not end this conflict without the Israeli regime being forced to leave all of #Lebanon." Professor Marandi also stressed that one thing Iran is attempting to do during this war is “to make the United States pay such a price,” not only so that it will never launch an aggression on Iran again, but to force the decision makers in the United States to decide and choose American interests over Israeli interests.

In an interview for #AlMayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi clarified that the #UnitedStates "is being utterly ignorant in its confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the axis of resistance." He explained that #Iran and the Axis of Resistance have not yet begun escalation and did not initiate the war, but have been trying to prevent the region from being destroyed. Gulf states in the region, Marandi says, miscalculated by underestimating the Axis of Resistance and overestimating the #US, and warned them that their only solution is to back down and force the United States to leave. #IranWar #WestAsia Seyed Mohammad Marandi
