Mohammad Marandi: U.S. and Iran Position Final Assets, Tensions Hit the Final Hour

Iran has been preparing for a potential conflict for decades, significantly upgrading its military industry 'around the clock' and establishing underground bases. This readiness stems from lessons learned from past conflicts, particularly the '12-day war,' which informed their understanding of Western technology and tactics. Enhanced cooperation with Russia and China further bolsters Iran's capabilities.

Marandi states, 'Iranians have been preparing themselves for a very long time... Iranian military industry has been from my understanding working around the clock over the last few months... and underground bases for potential war.' He adds, 'after the 12-day war they've learn since they learned a lot from the 12-day war about western technology... they worked to upgrade their capabilities and to change their tactics and their strategy.' He also notes 'cooperation with the Russians and the Chinese has been enhanced.'

Iran's network of regional allies, including forces in Iraq and Yemen, are prepared to engage in any conflict, forcing the U.S. to disperse its military resources across multiple fronts. This multi-front engagement would significantly complicate and weaken the U.S. military effort, making a victory for the U.S. impossible.

Marandi states, 'Iran's allies across the region will also be at war... Iraq has a population of 45 to 47 million US allies in Iraq will be crushed in Yemen. They've been also preparing themselves for war... Americans will be forced to divide their energy and their resources in different places.'

Despite Iran's official stance and a fatwa against nuclear weapons, key Iranian figures have publicly stated that the country's nuclear posture could change if it faces an existential threat. This implies that while Iran currently does not seek nuclear weapons, extreme circumstances could compel a revision of this policy, especially given advancements in nuclear technology.

Marandi recounts, 'Dr. Larijani... said that if Iran is faces an existential threat to his existence it will change its nuclear posture he said this on television... Dr. Karoi... said this twice... that Iran's nuclear posture would change under such circumstances.' He also notes, 'The United States can't destroy Iran's nuclear program because the scientists who built it are still there... Now the technology is so advanced that they can do all this in a small place without having to it being discovered.'

The speaker attributes the ongoing tensions and lack of normalization between Iran and the U.S. not to fundamental disagreements, but to the influence of an 'ethnosupremacist Epstein class' and Zionism. He claims these groups 'own the United States' and control the Western world, preventing peaceful relations and driving aggressive policies.

Marandi asserts, 'the only reason why we are where we are is because of the Israeli regime and Zionism. There's no fundamental issue that cannot be resolved between Iran and the United States... It is because these ethnosupremacist Epstein class people who own the United States... that they they won't allow normalization.'
