🇮🇷 A ceasefire on paper means nothing if accepting responsibility for a strike would officially break it. Tehran University professor Foad Izadi just explained the legal tightrope Iran is walking. "The English translation of the tape would be shots that come out of the blue or out of nowhere. This is the terminology that is used when shots are fired and nobody is taking responsibility for it." If you want to understand Iranian strategy, start by learning Farsi. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🇮🇷🇦🇪 The UAE traded with Iran, kept its bases neutral early in the war, and still got hit with 2,200 drones and nearly 600 missiles. Tehran University professor Foad Izadi breaks down why Tehran showed no mercy. "You don't use hundreds and hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles" just to threaten someone. The UAE wanted peace and got a war anyway. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

“The U.S. wants to repeat the Libya experience, disintegrate Iran, take out the oil-rich southern part, and then the rest of the country would fall apart. This is the ultimate plan they have,” Dr. Foad Izadi, professor of American studies and international relations at University of Tehran tells Jeremy Scahill in an interview on Wednesday. jeremy scahill | فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🇺🇸🇮🇷Shockwaves are already rippling through diplomatic circles after the 60-day peace clock between the U.S. and Iran was halted on day 1! University Professor Foad Izadi explains that the entire negotiation itinerary was canceled because the relentless intensity of the ongoing border strikes made talking completely impossible. While long-term border drawdowns remain on the table, Izadi makes it clear: A complete cessation of hostilities in Lebanon must happen first before any deeper territorial compromises can even be discussed. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Tehran Prof. Foad Izadi argues the military campaign against Iran failed, and Iran knows it. 47 years of sanctions, covert ops, and sustained bombardment couldn't break them. They kept firing throughout. It was the other side that went through Pakistan to ask for the ceasefire. Most Iranians didn't want the fighting to stop. "Iran was ready to continue." Professor Izadi suggests more attacks will occur before the U.S. midterms. Washington has a two-year window to try again. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🇺🇸 Biden returned to 18 of the 19 agreements Trump abandoned. The one he skipped was the nuclear deal. Tehran University professor Foad Izadi breaks down why that single decision may have changed everything. "If they had listened to Robert Malley, you probably would not have this work because the U.S. would actually return to the agreement." One agreement left on the table. An entire region paid the price. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

When the U.S. establishes bases in Gulf states, destabilization of the Middle East could be inevitable when the U.S. carries out strikes in the region. "If they don't attack these sites, they will be used for attacks tomorrow, so they need to be taken out today." فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🇮🇷 Iran has spent 47 years under sanctions, learning skills the rest of the sanctioned world desperately needs. Tehran University professor Foad Izadi breaks down how that expertise became the foundation of a global anti-hegemony network, from fixing Venezuelan Boeings to backing militias across the Middle East. "If you are opposing American hegemony and if Iran can help you with that in any way, give us a call. That's Iran's foreign policy in two words, the two sentences." That network isn't shrinking after the war. It's the blueprint. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

Prof. Foad Izadi argued that Israel and America's opposition to the Iranian regime could largely be understood as one of opposing a religion that makes western influence in the Middle East too strenuous.

Prof. Foad Izadi (فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi) | Foreign Policy Expert | American Studies at the University of Tehran: The UAE has decided to become an Israeli-occupied territory - a huge mistake. Israeli companies have a major presence in Dubai & Abu Dhabi, and IDF troops have been stationed on UAE soil. The UAE believes that by being more subservient to the US & Israel than other Gulf states, they'll end up in a better position. They are wrong. Iran will not forget what the UAE has done. Iran has suffered around $250 billion worth of damage. A good portion of that money will come from the UAE, whether they realize it or not.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 IRAN-BASED PROFESSOR: HEZBOLLAH IS A PRODUCT OF ISRAELI AGGRESSION Tehran Uni Professor Foad Izadi explained that Hezbollah was originally created in response to Israeli aggression in the 1980s. Izadi argues that the group has been incredibly patient despite constant ceasefire violations by Israel. While critics claim Lebanon was "dragged" into war, Foad suggests that the assassination of Iranian leadership gave the group a sovereign reason to respond. Professor Izadi believes that the lack of ethical standards in Israeli warfare is the true cause of the massacres seen in Lebanon today. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Prof. Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran says Trump calling Iran's new government "more reasonable" is spin to justify a failed $40 billion campaign. The new leadership is younger, more energetic, and less restrained because the figures who believed in diplomacy were killed. Their replacements have no incentive to go easy on Washington after what it did to Iran. "He's trying to make up for a failed policy by creating rhetoric that is not serious." Trump may be declaring victory. There's nothing to declare. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🇮🇷 Mainstream media completely misunderstands how Tehran actually operates, mistakenly treating a complex constitutional structure like a simple absolute monarchy. Dr. Foad Izadi, a professor of international studies, explains that the major security decision to back the new memorandum of understanding was fully handled and voted on by the President-led National Security Council. While leadership remains highly skeptical that Trump will just break its promises like it did in 2018, Izadi notes that they are cautiously moving forward with their eyes wide open. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Prof. Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran says any serious deal with Iran will collapse in the U.S. Congress. Key issues like nuclear limits, sanctions relief, Strait tolls, and Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon all hit the same wall. He argues Netanyahu has influence across both parties, and points to 2018 as proof, when Trump withdrew from a signed agreement. Iran, in his view, has no reason to trust Washington.

Iran provides support when asked but Hezbollah makes its own decisions. Syria's fall cut off the main supply route, forcing them to self-finance and self-arm. Whether Hezbollah merges with the Lebanese Armed Forces is Lebanon's choice alone. Not Tehran's. "They are not in it for the money." Decades of resisting occupation don't produce a militia. They produce an ideology. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi
