In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi affirmed that Iranian diplomacy is currently active in response to US actions; however, the Iranian government will not be “lulled into thinking that the US will not attack.” He stressed that Iran is expecting an attack at any time and has been preparing for it since the ceasefire. Elaborating on Iran’s diplomatic efforts, Marandi explained that the country is operating on three levels: first, military preparedness; second, engagement in public diplomacy; and third, diplomacy aimed at lessening the impact of the siege.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen on Thursday, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that people across the world are increasingly showing support for the Resistance, the Axis of Resistance, and Iran, regardless of religion. Professor Marandi also said he believes the funeral of martyred leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei will be widely seen around the world, even if Western media attempts to downplay or conceal it. He added that many people globally will still witness it and will be encouraged by the steadfastness of the Iranian people. According to Professor Marandi, this encouragement will strengthen their own resolve, making them more active in support of the Palestinian cause and the Lebanese people, and in their opposition to the empire.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that he believes that the trip of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's parliament speaker, to Doha, Qatar, was successful. He explained that there were two agendas, one of which was to ensure that if there were a US-Iran agreement, Iranian money "effectively stolen by the US government would be quickly returned to Iran." The second reason, according to Professor Marandi, is to pave the way for a new environment, a new condition for these countries to shift policy away from Washington.

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

#Iran has been a victim of #US aggression since 1953, Professor Mohammad Marandi told #AlMayadeen in an interview. Marandi describes the war as ideological, accusing the West of backing ethno-supremacist policies, particularly in its support for "Israel". Furthermore, Marandi dismissed the credibility of the US president, adding that his unpredictability complicates negotiations, as positions can shift rapidly, making it difficult to establish trust or reach meaningful agreements.

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.

Amid the recent Western-backed riots in Iran, Western media and figures championed Reza Pahlavi as the savior of #Iran. In this week's episode of Demystifying Iran, Seyed Mohammad Marandi explains how Reza Pahlavi, an exiled royalist with no domestic political base, has increasingly tied his political project to foreign powers. From public alignment with "Israel" to open calls for US and Israeli military intervention in Iran, critics argue he has crossed a fundamental red line, campaigning for a foreign war against the country he claims to represent, rather than relying on popular support at home.

He explained that the “biggest and most foolish mistake” Netanyahu and Trump made was starting this war, as it fundamentally changed Tehran’s assessment of the situation. “It was only as a result of this war that the Iranians decided that they must control the Strait.
