‘The Trump regime is telling the world: we are back to 18th-century imperialism’ – Seyed Mohammad Marandi

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Tehran university professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi cuts straight to the heart of what he sees as America’s blind spot on the Iran crisis. He insists that US media is “controlled by oligarchs,” not the people. He also argues that Iran’s moral position gives it a powerful narrative advantage and that the Iranian people feel “on the right side of history,” ready to defend themselves even when the economy is under strain. According to Marandi, Washington’s pressure has failed in the past and will again prove ineffective, especially if the US escalates with further bombings that risk destabilizing the Persian Gulf.

Watch now to hear Marandi’s unapologetic critique of Western media, and why Iran’s resilience could shift the global balance – only on RT.
