Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi is considered by many as the unofficial spokesperson of Iran.

Last time we spoke was at the beginning of the 12-day war with Israel, when he was worried for his life as Iranian military commanders were being assassinated almost daily.

Today, we look back at the outcome of the war and where we stand today.

Marandi says Iran is preparing for the next round of war, and that the 12-day conflict with Israel was just the beginning.

“The real story is that Trump saved the Israeli regime… they were taking a bad beating.

As the war progressed, Iranian missiles were getting through, and they were running out.”

From mass espionage arrests to nuclear policy shifts, Marandi says Tehran is gearing up, not backing down.

He discusses:

– Why Trump “saved” Israel at the last minute

– How the war pushed Iranians toward nuclear weapons

– 1,000+ arrests for espionage after Mossad infiltration

– Why he believes “genocide” is being normalized in the West

– And why Hezbollah will never disarm

In his view, the war didn’t end.

Phase 2 is coming.
