Speaking to Al Mayadeen on Wednesday, Professor Mohammad Marandi analyzed the roots of Washington's recent diplomatic fury. Marandi links Trump’s erratic rhetoric to the humiliatingly massive funeral turnouts across Iran and Iraq, alongside Iranian counter-strikes that reportedly left heavy casualties among US troops in Kuwait. While other regional actors choose obedience to Western pressure, Marandi highlights why the Axis of Resistance will never stand down, adding that the Strait of Hormuz remains entirely unsafe for transit without explicit Iranian consent.

Seyed Mohammad Marandi said the current confrontation marks a turning point in the regional balance of power, in an interview for Al Mayadeen, arguing that #Iran will no longer accept a status quo in which the United States and "Israel" can threaten it from military bases across the region. According to Marandi, Tehran aims to push the war until Washington and its Western allies recognize that attacking Iran is no longer an option. He also argues that the war could force broader regional changes, including a challenge to #Gulf states hosting #US bases and a shift in power favoring the Axis of Resistance.

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 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 with Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi warns that Trump's naval blockade on Iranian ports is a double-edged sword, pushing the global economy toward a severe 1930s-style depression. Marandi argues that while Washington restricts medical supplies and targets infrastructure, Iran’s history of resistance and collective survival instinct make it far more resilient to a siege than the West calculates. Meanwhile, domestic anger grows as everyday Americans pay the price for a "war of choice." Seyed Mohammad Marandi #AlMayadeen #Trump #Iran #IranWar #WestAsia

Speaking to Al Mayadeen on Monday, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that Yemen has the ability to inflict “far greater damage” on Saudi Arabia than Riyadh can inflict on Yemen. He explained that Saudi Arabia has major and costly infrastructure, including oil facilities, whose destruction or damage would severely impact its economy. Yemen, however, “because of years of siege and because of the genocidal war,” does not have similarly expensive infrastructure that could be targeted. Regarding Iran’s position, Professor Marandi stressed that Tehran has consistently encouraged Saudi Arabia to pursue rapprochement with Yemen. “For Iran, it is very upsetting that one of its civilian airliners when it's about to land would be threatened by the Saudis in this way. This is a dangerous move, and it angers Iranians immensely,” he said. Seyed Mohammad Marandi #WestAsia #Iran #SaudiArabia #Yemen #AlMayadeen

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi said he believes Iran intentionally delayed its response to the United States after Washington said that Tehran should respond quickly. He explained that when the US attempts to dictate timelines to Iran, Tehran will respond by showing that no one can tell the country what to do. Professor Marandi added that Iran’s delayed response was itself a message to Washington, "to tell Washington that we do not abide by your deadlines. We do not abide by your requirements. We work in accordance with our deadlines and our own requirements." Seyed Mohammad Marandi #AlMayadeen #IranWar #Iran #WestAsia #US

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.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen on Wednesday, Professor Mohammad Marandi highlighted that ongoing targeting and degradation of regional radar and air defense installations in neighboring territories, which historically served as forward lines of defense for the Israeli regime, have significantly reduced "Israel’s" early-warning buffer. Marandi also addressed the internal fractures in Israeli politics, noting that Tehran is closely monitoring internal contradictions that threaten to destabilize Netanyahu's coalition. However, he emphasized that any direct Israeli miscalculation against Iranian territory will trigger a retaliatory strike unprecedented in scale.

Professor Mohammad Marandi told Al Mayadeen that a breakthrough in US–Iran talks appears unlikely, arguing that Tehran has remained firm on its core principles, including sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and adherence to its proposed 10-point plan. Marandi says that while various proposals and exchanges have taken place, Iran continues to maintain its positions, and any potential agreement would require significant US concessions that Washington is currently unwilling to make. He also emphasized that Western media reports on high-level diplomatic communications are often unreliable and should not be taken at face value.

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.

"The region looks completely different from before," Professor Mohammad Marandi said on Al Mayadeen’s The Grand Standoff: Iran and the World, arguing that the past year has brought major changes to the regional balance of power. While acknowledging the Israeli destruction in Gaza and Lebanon and the deterioration in Syria, Marandi said the US-led empire has also been "badly wounded.. and has suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Resistance, Iran, and Yemen." He further argued that the "hardship that has been imposed on the region" was a double-edged sword, as the empire and its proxies are now "in retreat". On another note, Marandi warned that another US war against Iran remains possible, which will end in its "defeat". Marandi added that he expects the United States to eventually retreat and that a diminished US would force "Israel" to change its posture.
