Iran responds to the Trump blockade of Ormuz
the negotiations have been definitively unsuccessful
Interview with prof. Mohammad Marandim
The planet is breathing down. As tensions emergence in the Persian Gulf, a new, highly controversial interview with the Iranian polytologist and a associate of the delegation, prof. Mohammad Marandim, evokes a global sensation.
Marandi, who himself participated in unsuccessful negotiations in Islamabad, paints a clear picture: the maritime blockade of the Strait of Ormuz imposed by president Trump is not only ineffective towards Iran, but will besides seriously affect the global economy. Negotiations are over - and Tehran is prepared for a possible escalation.
Failed negotiations in Islamabad
Professor Marandi was on the scene in Islamabad as a associate of the Iranian delegation. It describes the atmosphere of large skepticism, prevailing even during flight. The Iranians were not expecting a breakthrough.
Nevertheless, crucial discussions were held and advancement was made – until the abrupt return of the action at the end of the day.
According to Marandi, the United States made maximum demands and showed no good will. On the contrary, during the negotiations 2 U.S. warships attempted to enter the Strait of Ormuz – an act of provocation that met with drone attacks and warnings from the Iranian side. Ships have retreated.
At the same time, Marandi reports the atmosphere of danger: "Washington Post" openly called for the killing of delegation members. In the return flight, safety measures were required; the aircraft did not land in Tehran, but in Mesheda, and any continued their journey by train.
Marandi is peculiarly critical of the function of Vice president J.D. Vance: he constantly spoke to Benjamin Netanjah on the telephone and reported to him. Netanjah yet sabotaged the negotiations.
“Who truly rules here?” Marandi asks rhetorically. It is clear to him: US politics dictates the Zionist lobby and Israel, not American interests.
Trump's blockade – a high-risk declaration of war
Immediately after the conversation fiasco Trump announced a complete blockade of the Strait of Ormuz. He threatened to sink all Iranian ships.
Marandi considers that the measurement is mostly ineffective and inefficient.
The Iranian Navy is mostly intact. Real combat units are high-speed assault boats, stationed in underground tunnels along the coast, which can be massively deployed if necessary.
Iranian missiles, anti-aircraft defence and air force were not destroyed – otherwise Trump could have invaded long ago.
If the US tries to enforce the blockade, Iran is threatening mass rocket attacks.
Marandi points out that the U.S. Navy has always kept a long distance from Iran's coasts. An effective long-distance blockade (1000–1500 km) would be highly costly and hard to enforce.
Iran has already announced that it will no longer let ships to sail from hostile states, while friendly countries (such as China and Russia) will proceed to be escorted.
Serious consequences for the U.S. economy and allies
Marandi powerfully warns: the blockade will drastically deepen the global energy crisis.
The reserves barely be – Russia and Iran have already mostly sold their stocks on the free market. Prices are clearly expanding and the strategical reserves of Western countries are being exploited.
The Gulf states are peculiarly affected: the arabian Emirates, Qatar and another countries are virtually incapable to usage their ports. Saudi Arabia must hotel to more costly routes across the Red Sea.
Marandi predicts: If the crisis continues and summertime heat comes, Persian Gulf monarchs with mediocre infrastructure may collapse.
Iran itself is much stronger: the country produces about 90% of its own food, has large agricultural areas, mountains, forests and dams.
It can trade across land borders with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Iraq, Turkey and the Caspian Sea.
Even before the war, Iran had actively switched to rice imports from India to Pakistan.
Iranian opposition and National Unity
Marandi's interior strength is the central point of analysis.
During the war, young people massively protected critical infrastructure (electrics, bridges) with their bodies.
The delegation returned from Islamabad a full group, despite threats of death – no 1 withdrew.
No high-ranking officer or government authoritative surrendered or resigned during the war.
Marandi powerfully criticizes Western media: they hide the second genocide in Lebanon, downplay Israel's attacks and systematically spread lies about Iran.
Western media are complicit in war crimes.
Perspectives: Who has the initiative?
Marandi is sure: Iran did not lose the war, but maintained a strategical advantage.
The U.S. and Israel have not achieved any of their goals.
Trump is actually looking for a “way out”, but he is stopped by Netanjahu and the lobby.
The blockade is an act of desperation that will harm America and its allies more than Iran.
Iran is besides preparing for the next circular – military, economical and social. Morale in the army and among the population is high.
Marandi is convinced: Iran will last this conflict longer than the US.
World public opinion is increasingly turning against Washington and Tel Aviv.
An interview with prof. Mohammad Marandim is an awesome proof of Iran's determination and an absolute analysis of the current dynamics of power.
While Trump sharpens the blockades and threats, Iran seems prepared and strategically superior.
The coming weeks will show whether the blockade of the Strait of Ormuz will indeed prove to be a awaited weapon, or another serious strategical mistake of the United States.
The full planet is watching.
