Speaking to Al Mayadeen on Monday, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that Yemen has the ability to inflict “far greater damage” on Saudi Arabia than Riyadh can inflict on Yemen. He explained that Saudi Arabia has major and costly infrastructure, including oil facilities, whose destruction or damage would severely impact its economy. Yemen, however, “because of years of siege and because of the genocidal war,” does not have similarly expensive infrastructure that could be targeted. Regarding Iran’s position, Professor Marandi stressed that Tehran has consistently encouraged Saudi Arabia to pursue rapprochement with Yemen. “For Iran, it is very upsetting that one of its civilian airliners when it's about to land would be threatened by the Saudis in this way. This is a dangerous move, and it angers Iranians immensely,” he said. Seyed Mohammad Marandi #WestAsia #Iran #SaudiArabia #Yemen #AlMayadeen

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.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen on Wednesday, Professor Mohammad Marandi said that the United States has failed in the 39 days of warfare, as well as in siege warfare. He noted that if the US siege warfare were succeeding, Washington would not be carrying out acts of aggression against Iran, adding that such threats and aggression amount to an admission of failure. Pointing to Trump’s "erratic" behavior, Professor Marandi said he believes it is largely driven by pressure from the "Zionist lobby and Israeli regime," as well as Trump’s "huge ego."
