Most people assume the crisis is winding down, but Prof. Izadi thinks the opposite is happening.
He says nobody in Tehran believes this is the end of the conflict.
The U.S is rebuilding its strategic oil reserves and replenishing the missiles it burned through during the war.
It's waiting until it's economically and militarily ready to fight again if Iran refuses Washington's demands.
Iran sees exactly the same thing.
Which is why, in Prof. Izadi's view, the country isn't preparing for peace, it's gearing up for what comes next.
The part that really surprised me was his argument that Trump's strategy has backfired across the region.
Instead of isolating Iran, he says more countries are adjusting to the reality that the regime isn't going anywhere.
He pointed to improving regional ties, growing economic cooperation, and neighbouring states increasingly planning around Iran rather than waiting for regime change that never came.
Then he brought it back to the funeral.
Millions of people are on the streets demanding revenge and preparing psychologically for a longer struggle.
He says that's why compromise is becoming harder inside Iran.
The public mood isn't, "Let's move on," it's, "Make sure this never happens again."
