DDGeopolitics | We Sat Down With Prof. Marandi in Tehran — And He Said This About the West | July 12, 2026

Description:
Chris sat down with Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi — Professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran, and one of Iran's most prominent English-language analysts — in Tehran, during the funeral of Ayatollah Khamenei.
What followed was one of the most frank and wide-ranging conversations about Iran, the war, Western narratives and the future of the resistance that we have ever recorded.
Prof. Marandi was clear: every myth the West has promoted about Iran for decades — corrupt, imploding, morally bankrupt, unpopular, a house of cards — was destroyed in full view of the world during Khamenei's funeral. And the West couldn't hide it this time.
• "All the myths about Iran were nonsense — and they were destroyed. Not that they won't go back to them in a few weeks."
• "I had no doubt we would win the war from day one. Almost everyone I know abroad thought Iran would collapse in days."
• "When we speak about popular legitimacy, the Islamic Republic is more legitimate than any Western government."
• "They are the regimes. Not Iran."
• "The Epstein class, the oligarchy, the Zionists — they won't learn."
• Even under war, siege and sanctions, Iran sent aid to Venezuela — "Who else would do that?"
• The role of Shia Islam and Iranian nationalism — "There is no separation between the two."
• On the Iranian diaspora used by Western media: "Orientalized Orientals. The comprador class. They try to be more American than the Americans."
• On Erdogan: "Trump says he's more obedient to me than my European partners."
• On a future security architecture: Iran's relations with Russia, China and the Global South will expand — but Iran will not bow to any power.
• Putin at SPIEF openly said he was surprised by the outpouring of support for Khamenei — and called it confirmation of Iran's strength.
Recorded in Tehran. During the largest funeral in human history.

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.

Description:
Iran has sent a message the world wasn’t supposed to hear. According to sources relayed to Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir from inside the inner circle of Iran’s new leader Mostafa Khamenei, one more US military strike could trigger Iran’s formal withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) — and, in the source’s own words, “all bets are off.”
In this breaking episode, Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson break down the renewed US bombing campaign, strikes on BRICS-linked civilian infrastructure, the Strait of Hormuz sovereignty standoff, and the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve countdown that could hit crisis by mid-August.
Larry Johnson explains why 70% of US refineries depend on sour crude now blocked at Hormuz, why Iran’s mass mourning of 40+ million people is Iran’s “Pearl Harbor moment,” and why Trump — not Tehran — is the one begging mediators for talks in Islamabad. This is the fullest breakdown connecting Iran’s NPT decision, the oil shock, and the collapse of the Versailles MOU before anyone else.
Sources: Pepe Escobar (geopolitical correspondent) and Larry Johnson (former CIA / State Department analyst). Some claims are source-based and developing; framing reflects verification status.

MintPress News | Iranian Hypersonic Missiles Takeout US Command & Control Sites - IRGC Prepares For Ground Invasion | July 9, 2026
Source: MintPress News youtube
Description:
ranian hypersonic missiles struck US command and control infrastructure across the Middle East in coordinated strikes, and the IRGC is now reportedly preparing for a ground invasion against US-backed positions. The era of uncontested American force projection in the region is collapsing in real time.
On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down exactly what was hit, why the shift to hypersonic missiles changes the strategic calculus, and what an IRGC ground offensive would mean for the remaining US presence in the region — and for the global order Washington has enforced since 1945.
This is the story corporate media is already burying.
