Dr. Mohammad Marandi Interview: Khamenei Assassination, Strait of Hormuz Closure & Betrayal of Arab Nations

In this week’s MintCast podcast hosted by Mnar Adley, she is joined by Dr. Mohammed Marandi — a professor of Orientalism and history at the University of Tehran to discuss the latest on the ground in Iran in the aftermath of the US and Israeli assassination of Iran’s supreme leader and marjaa’ Ali Khamenei and other war updates including the closing of the straight of Hormuz and the response from Arab states in the region.

It’s being called a war between good vs evil. The epstein class vs a nation that dares to stand up against US-Israeli imperialism: Iran.

The US and Israel launched a full scale war on Iran on Saturday, destroying schools, residential buildings, and assassinating political and military leaders.  Iran’s supreme leader and marjaa’ Ayatollah Khamenei is dead, killed in a joint CIA/Israeli operation. The planet appears on the brink of World War Three.

What can we expect? How will Iran strike back? And what do Iranians think about the situation?

In this special edition of the MintCast, MintPress director Mnar Adley is joined from Tehran by returning guest, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran.
