Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins Pascal Lottaz to assess the war with Iran, the failed ceasefire, Gulf state pressure, Lebanon, and the risk of a new US attack. They discuss claims about Iran’s missile strength, Saudi and Qatari moves, nuclear enrichment, Trump’s China trip, blockade plans, and the wider threat of economic shock, proxy war, and a deeper regional crisis.
