I sat down with Professor Foad Izadi from Tehran University and he didn't sugarcoat a single thing
Khamenei's statement on the deal, the one everyone's been debating, his read is that the leader didn't want this agreement and the president had to personally guarantee it would protect Iranian interests
Iran's position is very simple: ceasefire in Lebanon first, then negotiations, not the other way around
The Strait of Hormuz stays closed as leverage, and the professor thinks opening it before seeing real action was a mistake
Trump justified Iran's ballistic missile program, Israel Hayom called him a traitor, and the professor still doesn't trust any of it
His reasoning: the US left the 2015 deal, Congress is already working with Netanyahu to kill this one, and Trump tweeted about not giving Iran a dime 5 hours after signing
His odds on another war between the U.S. and Iran before Trump's term ends: 55 to 65%
Is the MOU a genuine reset or just America buying time before round 3?
