🎥 NEW: Jeremy Scahill reported this morning that Iranian officials say the U.S. has accepted Iran’s red lines in the latest revisions to the ceasefire declaration, but is asking for time to “manage domestic public opinion” before formally announcing acceptance of the interim agreement. Dr. Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran says Iran will want proof Washington is serious about ending the war, including the release of frozen Iranian assets and an end to Israel’s attacks on Lebanon. “If the U.S. cannot give the money that belongs to Iran back to Iran, and the U.S. cannot put a leash on Netanyahu and stop him from going on a rampage in Lebanon, then it shows that this conflict has not ended,” Izadi says. “This is a test for Iran to see what’s going on with the other side.” jeremy scahill | فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 TRUMP FELL FOR NETANYAHU'S PITCH FOR ATTACKING IRAN Professor Foad Izadi talked about how Trump chose to dismiss his own intelligence community’s assessment that Iran has no nuclear weapons program in favor of Netanyahu's narrative. Foad emphasized the failure to predict the closure of the Strait of Hormuz was a symptom of the same, with Iran embarrassing Trump on the military front hours after he suggested they could do nothing to the U.S. Air Force. Professor Izadi stressed that ignoring expert data has led to a much more prolonged and dangerous conflict. "He thought the war would be finished in 3 days. Even the intelligence community told him about the consequences." 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

“Trump decided to do Israel First instead of America First” — Professor Foad Izadi. He argues that Trump's decision to wage war on Iran reflected the influence Israel and its lobby wielded in Washington. And that the president is beginning to realize that the policy was a mistake that could lead to his impeachment. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 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. "There is no deal that the United States would keep." فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE WAR ON IRAN IS A RUTHLESS MONEY GRAB Prominent Iranian professor Foad Izadi said we're seeing the U.S. utilize the old colonial practice of dehumanizing a nation before plundering it. In his view, Trump’s recent anti-Iran rhetoric, going as far as calling Iranians "animals," is part of a calculated propaganda effort to justify military action for profit. Izadi believes the ultimate goal of the war is to seize control of Iranian resources. 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

🇮🇷 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

Iran's economy was struggling BEFORE the war, and the U.S. badly miscalculated what additional economic pressure would produce. Prof. Foad Izadi, who teaches at the University of Tehran and has direct visibility into Iranian public opinion, breaks it down for me: Iranians are absorbing more personal pain because they blame Trump and Netanyahu for their suffering, not their own government. Meaning the economic pressure the U.S. hoped would turn Iranians against the regime is doing the opposite. On whether Iran will compromise on Hormuz: "Iran's primary goal is to make sure the strait is not used again to attack Iran, the fees, the percentages, sharing with Omanis, these are things Iranians can compromise on." On the internal Iranian debate: real disagreements exist within the government, with figures like Araghchi openly frustrated at hardliners blocking a deal. But Prof. Izadi also believes Trump sees controlling Persian Gulf oil resources as his presidential legacy, making a clean exit unlikely. He tells me armed men are already waiting on the beaches of southern Iran, and Iranian state media is broadcasting it openly as a warning. A revealing window into how Tehran and the Iranian public are actually thinking right now... Thanks for coming on, فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

Prof. Foad Izadi from Iran says Iran survived 40 days of bombing, the U.S. achieved none of its stated goals, and Trump is still asking Iran to "cry uncle." The Iranian military is running out of patience with the blockade. Senior commanders are issuing statements. The likelihood of a direct confrontation outside the Strait is rising fast.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 EXCLUSIVE: Tehran University Professor Foad Izadi warned me not to fall trap to the Western narrative that the war is over, and that Iran is preparing for a continuation of the war The discussion shook me, as it gave me a glimpse to a completely different narrative in Iran, one of distrust, anger and preparedness for the worse Foad told me that Trump’s objective of controlling the Strait of Hormuz has not been completed, and therefore the war is more likely to continue than to have ended He’s seen this playbook before: Negotiations used to disguise preparations for war.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi argued that Iran's decision to shut the Strait of Hormuz has placed US President Donald Trump before a defining choice. "Is he going to choose the United States? Or is he going to choose the Israeli regime?" Marandi asked, arguing that Trump now has "no third choice" between protecting the US economy or forcing "Israel" to halt its aggression and ceasefire violations in Lebanon. He said Iran briefly reopened the Strait to demonstrate that it sought an end to the war and expected the US to honor its commitments, but after "they didn't act," Tehran closed it again. Marandi stressed that Iran "is dead serious," insisting it will not compromise until the Israeli occupation ends its war, withdraws from Lebanon, and fully implements the agreement, warning that "Iran has even implied that if this is not enough; they are willing to go further... It will strike 'Israel'." Seyed Mohammad Marandi #Iran #WarOnIran #UnitedStates #Lebanon #AlMayadeen

Iran just closed the Strait of Hormuz, and almost immediately, Netanyahu ordered a ceasefire in Lebanon. That single sequence tells you everything about who holds the cards. Larry Johnson's read is that Iran didn't need to fire a single missile at Israel this time. They shut the strait, and the proverbial economic gun did the rest. The US finally told Bibi to stop, with real leverage behind it: pull out the air defense systems. Two-thirds of the interceptors protecting Israel were American-fired anyway But this is a ceasefire, not peace. Israel still intends to finish taking that hill above Nabatieh inside its "security zone," and Iran warned this is only the FIRST step Here's the twist that stuck with me. Trump is now backchanneling with Netanyahu's opposition, but Larry thinks ousting Bibi could backfire. Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and the hardliners are even more extreme, with no filter, and would pour MORE fuel on the US-Israel rupture, not less. As a matter of fact, one of them just told Piers Morgan he'd be Iran's "worst nightmare". SonofNewAmericanRevolution
