Seyed M. Marandi: From "Economic D-Day" to Nuclear Strike Against Iran? (Glenn Diesen)

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team.



It's essential to get the view of the Iranian side in the conflict. They are fully at war with the US and will not back down until their demands are met. They hold all the cards, and will not buckle to threats. They know that if they back down the US will keep trying to strangle their economy and foment internal disruption. At key thing to consider is that both Russia and China are supporting the Iranians.
