Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Jimmy Dore: The REAL Story About The War From INSIDE IRAN!

by The Jimmy Dore Show [6-7-2026] Seyed Mohammad Marandi(bio).

(RAD: This is an excellent interview for anyone just getting up to speed on what led to the invasion of Iran by the US & Israel in the 12-day war in 2025 & the recent invasion that started on Feb 28th of this year. It is also an excellent review as a reminder of how the various things fit together, which is easy to forget with all of the propaganda spewing out every day. Everything Professor Marandi said has been supported by history & others who understand reality in that part of the world. — RAD)

Jimmy Dore interviews Iranian professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi about conditions in Iran following the recent Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict, with Marandi arguing that Iran emerged stronger politically, gained greater domestic confidence, and now exercises control over the Strait of Hormuz. Marandi claims that Iran successfully resisted U.S. and Israeli military pressure, discusses the country's economic challenges and war damage, and argues that Iran's regional influence and deterrence capabilities have increased.

The conversation also covers Iran's nuclear policy, U.S.-Iran negotiations, Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon, the role of Gulf states, and Marandi's view that Western governments and regional allies have aligned against Iranian interests. Throughout the interview, Marandi criticizes U.S. foreign policy, disputes mainstream narratives about regional conflicts, and argues that future diplomacy will depend on Washington prioritizing its own interests over those of Israel.
