Israel thought it could strike Iran and walk away unscathed. It was wrong.

In this explosive episode of MintCast, Tehran-based professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins Mnar Adley from the heart of a city under Israeli bombardment to deliver a stark message: Israel is not in control—and the tide is turning fast.

Marandi says Israel’s attacks have only strengthened Iranian unity, while the Trump administration’s betrayal has shattered any future for diplomacy. “There is more solidarity now than at any point since Saddam’s invasion,” he explains. As the U.S. inches closer to full-scale war, public support at home is collapsing—60% of Americans oppose getting involved.

Marandi exposes the West’s wishful thinking, the media’s imperial spin, and why Israel may be walking into the biggest strategic mistake in its history.

🔊 Hear it straight from Tehran—where the war is real, and Israel is losing.
