In an interview for #AlMayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi affirmed that “it’s very clear that #Lebanon was a part of the ceasefire,” stressing that both #Iran and the Pakistani Prime Minister stated this explicitly. He highlighted that "The United States is lying. The President of the United States is lying. The Vice President of the United States is lying. All of the officials in the United States are lying." On a related note, he emphasized that the US supports genocide, adding that "The United States supports the slaughter of the Palestinian people. They support the slaughter of the Lebanese people. They support the slaughter of the Iranian people." "It's not that they're indifferent," Seyed Marandi said. "They support it." Seyed Mohammad Marandi

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that in the recent exchange near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran holds the upper hand, pointing to how Emirati oil exports were halted. "So the United States, in any escalation, should expect an Iranian response that will probably outweigh what the United States does," he said. Professor Marandi added that in the "waiting game," there's no doubt that Iran will be able to "outwait the United States," noting that sovereignty and independence did not come at a small cost for the Iranian people in 1979. He stressed that Iran is prepared to wait “a very, very long time.” "So there's no doubt that at the end of the day, Iran will force a strategic defeat upon Trump. The only difference is that the harder he pushes and the longer this war lasts, the bigger the defeat will be for the United States," he said.

In a sharp interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi reiterated that "Iran will not give up its sovereignty" nor will it "allow anyone to take away its right to enrich uranium," stressing that Tehran is open to offering guarantees if the United States has genuine concerns. He argued that Iran’s "nuclear program was never really an issue," citing former US Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, who pointed that out in his resignation letter. Instead, Marandi stated that the war waged by "Trump and Netanyahu against the Islamic Republic of Iran" is politically driven, particularly "because of the Israeli regime and the Zionist lobby."

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi affirmed that the United States is actively working against the very memorandum of understanding it signed, stating that "the United States has collaborated with the President and Prime Minister that they installed in #Lebanon in order to undermine the agreement." He added that the #US is "encouraging ships to violate Iran’s regulations that are in accordance with the MoU," warning that any Iranian response is then used as a pretext for further escalation. Marandi also pointed to US violations, including delays over Israeli occupation forces' withdrawal from South Lebanon and the release of #Iran's frozen assets. While acknowledging limited US compliance under pressure, he concluded that Iran "will not accept this" and will continue leveraging the Strait of Hormuz until the US abides by the agreement.

"There is no agreement between Iran and the United States over the nuclear file. There is no agreement between Iran and the United States over a host of other issues as well," affirmed Professor Mohammad Marandi in an interview for Al Mayadeen. He explained that Trump's intention may be part of an attempt to mislead public opinion and later justify increased pressure on Iran by accusing it of changing its positions. Marandi also reaffirmed that Iran "will not relinquish any of its allies in the Axis of Resistance" under any circumstances, emphasizing that "any comprehensive agreement would necessarily have to include the people and the nations within the Axis of Resistance."

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.

Professor Mohammad Marandi describes to Al Mayadeen a month-long wave of public mobilization across Iran, with crowds taking to the streets nightly in cities, towns, and even remote areas despite harsh weather conditions to support the Iranian government amid the US-Israeli aggression. Marandi says Iran is standing against a broader coalition that extends beyond the United States to include its allies and regional partners, pointing to sanctions, intelligence-sharing, and logistical support as part of that dynamic.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi asserted that Iran never expected the United States to implement the memorandum of understanding, stressing that the "Iranians have no trust in the #Trump regime." He also added that "Iran knew that the #UnitedStates would drag its feet as much as possible," arguing that it had agreed to electronic signatures without a formal ceremony because of that distrust, adding that Iran's leverage lies in its control of the Strait of Hormuz. Marandi further asserted that "#Iran won the war," and warned that "Iran will continue to use that leverage" until the US fulfills its commitments, saying the future of the agreement depends on whether the US ultimately honors its side of the deal. As for the signed framework agreement between the Lebanese authorities and the Israeli occupation, Professor Marandi said it is an attempt by Washington to violate the US-Iran MoU and an attempt by the US to "undermine the agreement".

Professor Mohammad Marandi tells Al Mayadeen that Iran does not seek to disrupt global shipping or harm sailors in the Strait of Hormuz, stressing that restrictions imposed by Tehran target countries that backed US and Israeli actions against Iran.

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

"Who is in charge of the White House? Who is the real boss?" Professor Mohammad Marandi told Al Mayadeen that this uncertainty is an added issue that Iran is not negotiating. After the #US tore up the 2015 nuclear deal and then conspired against #Iran during last year’s talks and then again on February 28, culminating in joint sudden US-Israeli attacks, Tehran sees little point in trusting Washington. Marandi added, "If it is the Israeli regime and the Zionist lobby in the United States that are running the show, then negotiating with the United States is futile."

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi explained why Iran has refused to negotiate on Washington’s timetable, arguing that Tehran sees such deadlines as part of the pressure tactics of warfare. "Iran does not work based on their timetables," Marandi said, stressing that what could be interpreted as Iran's weakness, instead of goodwill, could encourage further US pressure. He also warned that Iranian diplomats must pay attention to every word of any agreement to prevent the United States from exploiting potential "loopholes" later, pointing to the JCPOA as a precedent where the US ultimately violated the deal despite Iran fulfilling its commitments.
