Professor Mohammad Marandi told Al Mayadeen that Iran sees no point in negotiating while the United States is "preparing a land offensive." Marandi stressed that talks will only happen once the #US defeat becomes undeniable, "and that time is approaching." He also warned that a global economic crisis is already emerging and will intensify in the coming weeks, increasing pressure on the US, but for now, Marandi said that, escalation is theirs, and Iran "will punish them".

Speaking to Al Mayadeen on Friday, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that the only thing that is important for Iran now is that the US under Trump "must be taught a lesson." "And that is that it, under no circumstances, will achieve success against the Islamic Republic of Iran," he added. Professor Marandi said that the Iranians are "determined" to make them lose again, stressing that the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened or normalized until Iran achieves its goals.

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.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that he believes that the trip of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's parliament speaker, to Doha, Qatar, was successful. He explained that there were two agendas, one of which was to ensure that if there were a US-Iran agreement, Iranian money "effectively stolen by the US government would be quickly returned to Iran." The second reason, according to Professor Marandi, is to pave the way for a new environment, a new condition for these countries to shift policy away from Washington.

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 warned that Iran is preparing to "change the nature of the Strait of Hormuz for obvious reasons," pointing at "Qatar, the Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia" for hosting US bases used in the #US-Israeli war on Iran. He argued that these governments have allowed their territories to become launchpads for attacks against Iran, making them "complicit in the murder of thousands of Iranians" and "destroying Iranian infrastructure." However, Marandi made it clear that "#Iran has no problem with these countries having economic, cultural, and political relations with the United States." The problem rests in hosting US bases. "And controlling the Strait of Hormuz is a key instrument to making sure that in the future these countries behave like normal countries," he added.

Professor Mohammad Marandi reaffirmed that the success of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding is contingent upon the end of the Israeli war on Lebanon and the withdrawal of occupation forces from #Lebanon, stressing that Iran "will accept nothing less." He added that #Iran is prepared for the agreement to fail if its core conditions are not met, noting that "everything that Iran demands in the agreement has to be fulfilled, otherwise, Iran will not carry out its obligations." Marandi further explained that Iran would not necessarily announce any formal suspension of its commitments, but could instead adjust its behavior gradually, such as by reducing maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. He added that while Iran is currently showing patience, it retains the ability to apply "pressure on the United States in a very subtle but very effective way," noting that global energy reserves are already being depleted.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi emphasized that Iran will permanently control the Strait of Hormuz, alongside Oman. He explained that the “biggest and most foolish mistake” Netanyahu and Trump made was starting this war, as it fundamentally changed Tehran’s assessment of the situation. “It was only as a result of this war that the Iranians decided that they must control the Strait. Otherwise, they had no such intention beforehand,” Professor Marandi noted. Seyed Mohammad Marandi #AlMayadeen #IranWar‌ #StraitofHormuz #Oman
