Summary
Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins Pascal Lottaz to discuss the reported war around Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, attacks on US bases, and growing pressure on Gulf states. They examine the risks to energy, trade, food supplies, and the global economy, as well as Iran’s ties with China and Russia. Marandi also argues that US policy is driven by failed assumptions and lacks a clear plan.Links:Seyed Mohammad Marandi on X: https://x.com/s_m_marandi Seyed Mohammad Marandi on Telegram: https://t.me/s_m_marandi Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Merch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shop Donation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donate Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction and situation in Tehran 00:02:24 Hormuz and the end of negotiations 00:08:28 Yemen, energy and global economic risks 00:13:04 Iran’s shipping corridor in Hormuz 00:17:05 Gulf states, diplomacy and escalation 00:19:34 US options and critical infrastructure 00:24:25 Why Iran is not striking Israel directly 00:29:16 China, Russia and Iran’s war economy 00:35:46 Does the US have a strategy? 00:43:44 How long can the war continue? 00:47:33 Where to follow Marandi and recommended books
