Professor Mohammad Marandi told Al Mayadeen in an interview on Wednesday that Tehran sees no reason to make unnecessary concessions to the United States, arguing that Washington failed militarily, economically, and strategically against Iran. Marandi said Iran remains prepared for continued sanctions and confrontation, while warning that escalation in the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing economic pressure could lead to a wider global economic disaster.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Prof. Mohammad Marandi: Iran isn’t interested in another deal. It’s waiting for America to honor the last one. Washington appears to be betting that economic pressure will eventually force Iran back to the negotiating table. Prof. Mohammad Marandi thinks that fundamentally misunderstands Tehran’s position. Iran, he says, believes the negotiation is already over. Trump signed an agreement. Tehran now expects Washington to implement it, and until that happens, Marandi says there will be no new negotiations. “We have a deal. You signed that piece of paper. Whenever you implement the deal, then come talking.” That creates a dangerous problem. The U.S. is continuing its economic siege while Iran has explicitly warned that if Washington succeeds in seriously damaging its economy, Tehran will respond militarily. Iran cannot sanction American banks or shut down the U.S. economy, Marandi argues, so its response would be against U.S. economic assets, or assets it considers linked to Washington, across the region. Then America faces pressure to retaliate. And the cycle starts again. Marandi says a larger war in the coming weeks or months is now a serious possibility, whether triggered by Iranian retaliation, a desperate U.S. escalation, or another Israeli attack that pulls Washington back in. The two sides aren't negotiating toward the same finish line anymore. Washington is waiting for Iran to concede. Iran, meanwhile, is waiting for Washington to concede first. Seyed Mohammad Marandi

🇮🇷🇺🇸 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

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.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Iran is signaling that any U.S. economic blockade would trigger a military response rather than force Tehran to back down. Middle East analyst Joshua Landis says recent Iranian strikes were designed to warn Washington that pressure on the Strait of Hormuz would not remain an economic contest. Instead, he argues, Tehran would expand the battlefield by targeting U.S. assets and regional infrastructure, turning sanctions into a wider kinetic conflict. His assessment is that Tehran is trying to convince Washington that economic warfare cannot remain separate from military escalation. Joshua Landis

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 denies any developments in negotiations between Washington and Tehran, adding that the abandonment of "Project Freedom" was due to its failure, not Pakistani pressure. Marandi describes the Axios report regarding an imminent agreement as "completely false" and argues that it was used to justify a US retreat in the Strait of Hormuz, further noting that recent narratives have influenced global markets, referring to oil and gas prices.

In an interview for #AlMayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi discusses Iran's diplomatic strategy, explaining that he thinks it is a "combination of things." Professor Marandi elaborated that, on the one hand, Iran is further strengthening its ties with friendly countries as seen in Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's diplomatic trip to Russia, Oman, and Pakistan. He added that the Iranians want the international community to see that Iran is open to negotiations and is not the party responsible for the current global economic crisis. "It wants to show the international community that Netanyahu and Trump are creating this global misery," he said. Seyed Mohammad Marandi #Iran #Russia #Oman #Pakistan #DonaldTrump

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Prof. Mohammad Marandi: If Trump’s sanctions actually work, war may become inevitable Iran's economy is unquestionably worse than before the war, he says. Infrastructure is damaged, sanctions hurt, and Tehran is shifting toward a wartime economy. But Iran isn't thinking about surrender. It's preparing for another war. Marandi argues Tehran has spent decades preparing for exactly this confrontation, building underground facilities while developing missiles and drones. And he believes Iran is now rapidly expanding those capabilities during the current lull. That creates a nasty paradox for Trump's “Economic D-Day.” If the sanctions fail, Iran can simply absorb the pressure and wait. If they succeed in seriously damaging Iran's economy, Marandi believes Tehran will retaliate, potentially targeting American economic and military interests across the Gulf. And Iran still has another lever: Hormuz. Marandi argues Tehran could gradually tighten the flow of oil and other critical commodities, increasing pressure on global markets without immediately returning to full-scale war. So Washington's problem is becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Sanctions that don't work accomplish very little. Sanctions that do work may restart the war. And Marandi's conclusion is remarkably simple: if Washington is serious about using economic pressure to overthrow the Iranian government, renewed conflict is “inevitable.” Seyed Mohammad Marandi

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
