The Grayzone | The US and Iran "fighting for final, ultimate victory" - top Iranian analyst | July 20, 2026

Description:
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal meets Mostafa Khoshcheshm, one of Iran's most connected and prolific analysts and journalists, to discuss the next phase of the US-Israeli war on the country, and why he thinks Iran will emerge as a regional power.

Khoshcheshm explains how the current phase of conflict will likely escalate into a full blown regional war, and why he believes that Israel is already on its way toward an internal political implosion. This is part two of a two part interview. 

Watch part one here:



The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal meets top Iranian analyst and journalist Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm in Tehran on July 9, moments after the US resumed airstrikes on Iran, and as the funeral procession for the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proceeded through Iraq.


Blumenthal asks Khoshcheshm what the red flags of revenge seen throughout the funeral procession signify, and whether the many public calls for targeting the US president and his inner circle as retaliation for Khamenei's assassination, and the killings of other top Iranian leaders, are to be taken seriously.

Khoshcheshm explains why he sees a massive regional war over the horizon, and why this war may eventually reach the United States due to Trump's reckless behavior and "betrayal" of his own regional allies.

Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm has taught at a number of Iranian universities and academic centers, including the International Relations Faculty of the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

Description:
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani after he presided over the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – the largest gathering in human history, where millions clamored for revenge for their leader's assassination.

Zakani is a leading conservative politician who campaigned for the presidency as an opponent of the JCPOA nuclear deal, and has since emerged as top critic of the MOU between Iran and the US.

In this exclusive interview with The Grayzone, Zakani addressed the popular calls for vengeance against Trump and Netanyahu during Khamenei's funeral, and whether they expressed an official policy.

As a former friend and ally of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani and former President Ebrahim Raisi, Zakani discussed the impact of their deaths on the Iranian nation, and addressed whether Iran responded strongly enough to Soleimani's assassination.

Zakani explained his critical views on the MOU, and provided his perspective on the deadly riots that rocked Iran this January as well as the devastating US-Israeli military campaign that followed.
