🇮🇷 "There is no other deal." That's Prof. Mohammad Marandi's flat answer when asked if Iran might soften its demands under economic pressure. His starting point: the MOU Trump signed is the only deal on the table . And Iran says Washington has already violated nearly every article of...

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Did Iranian strikes on U.S. forces in the region force Trump to back off? Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi says the Iranians were simply defending themselves. There was no real ceasefire. The Americans started the war, he says, imposed siege conditions and ignored the earlier memorandum of understanding from day one. When Iranian forces saw the U.S. building up in Jordan and Kuwait, they struck. Marandi frames it as a clear message: Iran does not operate on Washington’s timetable and will hit back whenever it deems necessary. That display of confidence, he believes, helped convince Trump not to restart the full war. Seyed Mohammad Marandi

⚠️ Trump Says Iran Is “Calling Constantly.” Marandi Says Tehran is not on the line. Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi (Seyed Mohammad Marandi) dismantles Trump’s claim that Tehran is begging for negotiations — and reveals why the Iran war has no diplomatic off‑ramp. He jokes that if Iran were truly calling every day, “I’m hoping they’re using one of these Internet apps… these calls are expensive.” Marandi says Trump repeats this claim so often “we have to go back and use artificial intelligence to figure out… is this the 80th time… the 75th time… or the 85th time that he said it?” He makes Iran’s position unmistakable: “If he wants to negotiate, he has to first implement what he signed up to, and that was the MOU.” And he reminds viewers that Iran already tried diplomacy — “five rounds of negotiations” before the Twelve Day War, talks in Oman, and multiple ceasefires — but “every single time he [Trump]undermined the negotiations.” Watch the full clip. ▶️

Iran's position hasn't changed: they don't want war. They're just not afraid of one, either. That's the warning from Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a University of Tehran professor and adviser close to Iran's negotiating team. Sen. Lindsey Graham, today: "If Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them." Marandi's response: "Iran is ready for war. Iran is ready for siege. It doesn't want war. It doesn't want siege warfare. But it's ready for it." He says every time Iran has shown goodwill in the past, the U.S. read it as weakness and hit harder instead. He thinks that pattern could be repeating now. And says a return to escalation wouldn't just hurt Iran, it would tank the global economy. Worth tuning in to this one... Seyed Mohammad Marandi

🇮🇷🇺🇸 The Strait of Hormuz may be reopening, but not on America's terms. Reports suggest Iran and Oman are close to finalising a new arrangement for shipping through the Strait, which, at first glance, looks like a de-escalation; Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi says it is anything but. According to him, this isn't America restoring the old order; it's adapting to a new one. Iran has made one point non-negotiable: Nothing moves through Hormuz without Tehran knowing about it. Prof. Marandi says Oman and Iran have spent weeks negotiating a framework that keeps the Strait coordinated rather than divided. Iran insisted it would never accept a system where Oman managed one side while Tehran had no oversight of the other. Instead, he says, every vessel would remain subject to Iranian coordination. And even if an agreement is signed, that doesn't mean Hormuz suddenly returns to normal. Prof. Marandi argues that Trump first has to return to the broader Memorandum of Understanding that Washington abandoned. That means more than just shipping; it means sanctions relief, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and potentially new understandings covering Yemen and Gaza as well. Only then, he says, can the Strait be fully normalised. And the kicker this time is that Prof. Marandi doesn't believe Iran will simply reopen Hormuz and trust Washington to keep its promises later. He says Tehran will want key concessions delivered first. Seyed Mohammad Marandi

Trump Says U.S. and Iran Talks Begin Tomorrow Iran has NOT confirmed this, NO ONE HAS Donald Trump claims Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran all asked him to call off strikes set to go the night before, an assault he called the biggest since WORLD WAR II. He framed a deal as the way to save lives, first on the Strait of Hormuz, then on the nuclear file. He admitted no deadline exists and that the U.S. is ready to strike any time it wants. Every claim about who begged for restraint comes from ONE man, and the side he says asked has said nothing.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 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

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is trying to strangle Iran economically, but Prof. Mohammad Marandi says Tehran will answer with force and keep escalating even if the U.S hits back harder. Washington just sanctioned a Turkish bank it describes as a critical financial lifeline for Iran, cutting it out of the U.S financial system. At almost exactly the same time, Iran began firing anti-ship missiles at ships using the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz. Prof. Marandi says those two developments should be viewed as directly connected. Iran can't sanction America in return, so if Washington intensifies the economic siege, Tehran's answer will be to intensify pressure on Hormuz. And Prof. Marandi says Iran still has plenty of rungs left on that escalation ladder: restrict more shipping, potentially shut down Hormuz altogether, expand disruption beyond the Strait, and accept whatever American retaliation follows. He says this is no longer simply a negotiation over sanctions, shipping fees, or freedom of navigation; Iran will not agree to fully normalize the Strait of Hormuz while the war in Gaza continues. In other words, Washington may believe it can squeeze Tehran economically until it compromises over Hormuz, but Prof. Marandi is describing almost the opposite calculation inside Iran: The harder America squeezes, the more Iran will use the one weapon capable of exporting that economic pain back to America and the rest of the world: Hormuz. And that leaves Washington facing a brutal equation: Economic war triggers military retaliation. Military retaliation threatens global trade. And the final Iranian off-ramp now runs all the way through Gaza. Seyed Mohammad Marandi

The High-Stakes Escalation in the Middle East 💥 " Trump can hit us hard... but Iran can hit back." Professor Seyed Marandi (Seyed Mohammad Marandi) lays out the stark reality of the Iran war and why the U.S. strategy is pushing the region toward a breaking point. “Iran is progressing… its missiles and drones are getting better as time goes on while the United States is facing a crisis.” “When the United States runs out of those critical weapon systems, Iran will still have missiles and drones.” He warns that if Washington strikes Iran’s infrastructure, “Iran will take out everything in the region… oil fields on fire and LNG refineries on fire.” That would trigger a global economic depression and force “millions of people… to leave the Arabian Peninsula.” And on Iran’s refusal to surrender: “If they submit… then the country is finished.” Marandi says Americans increasingly see this conflict for what it is: “This is a war for Netanyahu… Kushner’s war… not for the American people.” 👉 Watch the full clip — the stakes of the Iran war are now unmistakable.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Is the long conflict with Iran finally winding down? Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi says he remains an optimist. Throughout the darkest days in Gaza and the war with Iran he has always believed there is light at the end of the tunnel and that the oppression will eventually end. His main caution is about how far Israel is willing to go, even if it means wrecking the regional and global economy to protect itself. He argues the antagonism between Iran and the United States was never in the interest of the American people and that without Israeli influence the two countries would already have normal diplomatic relations.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 The MOU hands Iran sole control of who passes through Hormuz, and by that reading it's the U.S., not Iran, breaching the deal. Larry Johnson kept pulling it back to the exact wording. Clause 5 says Iran, and only Iran, makes the arrangements for safe passage. Not Iran and Oman, not Iran and Washington. So when Iran stops a ship that skipped its protocol and ran the Omani route, he argues, Iran is enforcing the agreement, and the U.S. strikes answering those stops are the real violation. He read the rest of the scorecard the same way. Sanctions waivers, clause ten, already issued. But the frozen assets, the troop drawdown, the Lebanon clause, all unmet. The delegation heading to Doha isn't there to negotiate, in his telling, but to hold Washington to what it already signed. On the proxy fronts, he splashed cold water on the easy read of Yemen: that mobilization isn't Saudis massing on the Houthis, it's Saudis against the Emiratis' own faction, and nobody who watched 18 months of failed US strikes thinks the Houthis can be dislodged from Bab el-Mandeb. His verdict on the weekend stuck with me. After all the chest-thumping, the U.S. stood down rather than answer Iran's last strike. To Larry, that silence says everything about who actually holds the leverage. SonofNewAmericanRevolution

❌No trust, no deal: What are Iran's terms to end war with US? A US signature on any deal “means nothing,” political analyst Seyed Mohammad Marandi tells Sputnik. He lays out the core of Iran’s distrust: The US tore up the Iran deal and “conspired to wage war” against Iran with Israel, so “there is nothing to negotiate.” 💬“The only way that this war will come to an end is when neighboring countries can no longer be a platform for US military aggression,” says the pundit. He adds that the sovereignty of Iran and its allies must be respected, and ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza observed. This war will teach the US to never attack Iran again — while Israel will be forced to face the end of its era of genocidal impunity. 💬“If US hegemony comes to an end, this region will thrive like no other part of the world,” he concludes.

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".

During an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi stated that Iran has no issue working with intermediaries like Oman or Pakistan, insisting that the real obstacle, he argued, is the United States. Marandi further said that not only is this war on Iran "in complete contrast to the interests of the American people and the American society," but also the US, heavily influenced by "Israel", is the one in need of mediation, not Iran. "The very fact that Trump wanted to send Kushner and Witkoff to Islamabad, even though the Iranians had no plans to meet them, shows how desperate he is. It shows how badly he needs to deal," he stressed. Marandi also highlighted the fact that if a renewed US-Israeli war on Iran were to happen, especially during the region's extreme summer heat, US forces would be at a severe disadvantage.

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

🇮🇷🇺🇸 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

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.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Prof. Mohammad Marandi argues that Mohsen Rezaei’s rise to a senior security position signals a deliberate shift toward a tougher Iranian posture, both at the negotiating table and on the battlefield. He says the message is simple: Iran does not intend to let negotiations water down its demands, particularly over Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq. “He is going to be strong in standing up to U.S. aggression, whether it’s at the negotiating table or on the battlefield.” Why was Rezaei chosen now, and what does it tell us about Iran’s next move?
