Professor Seyed M. Marandi provides a critical analysis of current geopolitical tensions, asserting that American influence is waning while Iran will demonstrate resilience.

In this discussion, Professor Seyed M. Marandi argues that the United States is losing its global strategic footing, characterizing current conflicts as failures of U.S.-led agendas. He specifically cites the ongoing suffering resulting from policies pushed by Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and proponents of Zionism. Marandi contends that while Iran is also experiencing significant hardships due to these policies, the nation remains capable of managing and outlasting the United States, citing the failure of past, short-duration Western operations as evidence that external pressure will not succeed in undermining the country.
