“Iran is preparing for war, and war could be very close.” — Professor Marandi. He stresses Tehran is deliberately keeping the door open to negotiations — not out of naivety, but to make it unmistakably clear where responsibility for any escalation will lie. “If the U.S. attacks tonight, the... show more

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran’s economy is under severe pressure. But Prof. Mohammad Marandi argues that economic pain does not necessarily mean Tehran will fold. He says Iran has endured prolonged economic warfare before, and that the U.S. is also exposed to the costs of a drawn-out conflict. “The Iranians are going to be resistant, resilient, and they’ll remain steadfast. It’ll be tough. But they know that this is a war for survival.” Seyed Mohammad Marandi

Professor Marandi: "The U.S. is preparing a ground invasion backed by a regional Arab regime. Iran is calmly, deliberately preparing for a major war. If this country is attacked, that Arab regime will cease to exist." 🇮🇷🇺🇸🇸🇦🔥💥⚡️💢

“Israel is the brain. The U.S. is the muscle.” — Saudi geopolitical researcher Salman Al-Ansari. He says that’s the reality of the war on Iran — yet still urges Tehran to return to negotiations to prevent devastating global economic fallout.

"As we won in the war, we will return and prepare ourselves for war." Professor Marandi: Iran does not insist on an agreement. We are conducting negotiations only to make sure the international community and regional peoples know that we went and gave a chance for de-escalation. But if the US and Trump choose to ignore Iran's rights and the rights of Palestine, Lebanon, and the Axis of Resistance, they will not find reaching an agreement. One thing that surprised the Iranian side: Lebanon's Prime Minister didn't want to stop the criminal attacks on Lebanon, instead he wanted to hold normalization talks with the Israeli regime. Iran is fully prepared to return to Tehran without an agreement.

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 DOESN’T SEE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE U.S. AS A SOLUTION Iranian professor Nima Rostami says Iran is not interested in stopping this war through negotiations or temporary deals. He argues the country sees a ceasefire as useless if it only leads to future attacks, pushing Iran to continue fighting instead of pausing. It would mean Iran is prepared to sustain the war long-term, relying on years of preparation, internal resilience, and the belief it can outlast its opponents. "Iran has been preparing for this war for more than 26 years. Less than 10% of their capabilities have been affected, they can continue this war comfortably.”

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi warned that if the #US carries out President Donald Trump's threat against Iran’s critical infrastructure, then a wider regional crisis would be triggered, urging #Gulf countries to reconsider their support for the US. Marandi stated that "if the United States indeed carries out its threats against Iran, then I think that countries such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and the Emirates, and Oman increasingly will have to face the consequences." Stressing that #Iran does not seek war, he said, "Iran will not initiate war... But if Iran's critical infrastructure is targeted, Iran will swiftly destroy the critical infrastructure of these regimes." Marandi further warned that any US escalation could threaten energy assets, regional stability, and global markets, describing the current situation as "very dangerous times" and cautioning that a prolonged war could lead to "a global economic catastrophe that is unprecedented."

Iran's position hasn't changed: they don't want war. They're just not afraid of one, either. That's the warning from Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a University of Tehran professor and adviser close to Iran's negotiating team. Sen. Lindsey Graham, today: "If Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them." Marandi's response: "Iran is ready for war. Iran is ready for siege. It doesn't want war. It doesn't want siege warfare. But it's ready for it." He says every time Iran has shown goodwill in the past, the U.S. read it as weakness and hit harder instead. He thinks that pattern could be repeating now. And says a return to escalation wouldn't just hurt Iran, it would tank the global economy. Worth tuning in to this one... Seyed Mohammad Marandi

During an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi stated that Iran has no issue working with intermediaries like Oman or Pakistan, insisting that the real obstacle, he argued, is the United States. Marandi further said that not only is this war on Iran "in complete contrast to the interests of the American people and the American society," but also the US, heavily influenced by "Israel", is the one in need of mediation, not Iran. "The very fact that Trump wanted to send Kushner and Witkoff to Islamabad, even though the Iranians had no plans to meet them, shows how desperate he is. It shows how badly he needs to deal," he stressed. Marandi also highlighted the fact that if a renewed US-Israeli war on Iran were to happen, especially during the region's extreme summer heat, US forces would be at a severe disadvantage.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that Iran and the US agreed upon terms that "were very appealing to Iran," explaining that the US accepted a regional end to the war, an end to the war on Lebanon, and to put off discussions about the nuclear program until the second stage. "So the only thing that is in this text that hasn't been agreed upon yet is Iran saying that it will not build a nuclear weapon, but that's what Iran has been saying for decades. So that's not something new for Iran," Professor Marandi said. He explained that the US wanted the Strait of Hormuz to return to normal, but Iran did not accept that, explaining that what Iran accepted "will return to normal is the number of ships that pass through," while it maintains control of the Strait.

The High-Stakes Escalation in the Middle East 💥 " Trump can hit us hard... but Iran can hit back." Professor Seyed Marandi (Seyed Mohammad Marandi) lays out the stark reality of the Iran war and why the U.S. strategy is pushing the region toward a breaking point. “Iran is progressing… its missiles and drones are getting better as time goes on while the United States is facing a crisis.” “When the United States runs out of those critical weapon systems, Iran will still have missiles and drones.” He warns that if Washington strikes Iran’s infrastructure, “Iran will take out everything in the region… oil fields on fire and LNG refineries on fire.” That would trigger a global economic depression and force “millions of people… to leave the Arabian Peninsula.” And on Iran’s refusal to surrender: “If they submit… then the country is finished.” Marandi says Americans increasingly see this conflict for what it is: “This is a war for Netanyahu… Kushner’s war… not for the American people.” 👉 Watch the full clip — the stakes of the Iran war are now unmistakable.
