Iran War Round 3? US Desperation Setting In | Prof. S. M. Marandi

Early on July 8, 2026, the US launched the largest air strikes against Iran since the MoU was signed a month earlier. Is this the continuation of the war, or a desperate move by the dying Empire? Professor Mohammad Marandi of the University of Tehran discusses the US-Iran MOU, Hormuz tensions, Iranian assets, Lebanon, Gulf talks, and the risk of another war. He also covers Khamenei’s funeral, Iran’s media response, US power, Europe’s decline, and why Tehran sees the current moment as unstable but full of leverage.Links:Seyed Mohammad Marandi on X: https://x.com/s_m_marandiSeyed Mohammad…
