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.

Dr. John Mearsheimer & Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi | Iran After Ayatollah Khamenei: The MOU, Lebanon, and the Road Ahead with Mehlaqa Samdani & Dr. Atiqa Batul | July 6, 2026

Description: 
As Ayatollah Khamenei's state funeral draws millions of Iranians and nearly 50 foreign delegations to Iran this week, we ask: what does this moment mean for Iran's internal stability, its standing in the region, and its fragile truce with Washington?

Since the June 17th Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding brought a fragile end to the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, the agreement has faced serious strain. The June 26th Israel-Lebanon framework ties Israeli withdrawal to Hezbollah's disarmament, and low-level attacks between Iran, the U.S., and Israel continue. Is the Trump administration genuinely pursuing a grand bargain with Tehran, or is this just a tactical pause before renewed conflict?

In this episode (recorded July 6, 2026), Mehlaqa Samdani and Dr. Atiqa Batul are joined by:
🔹 Dr. John Mearsheimer — Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago — on the fragility of the MOU, the Strait of Hormuz, whether Iran is emerging as a fourth pole of global power, and what America's foreign policy history teaches about dealing with Iran.
🔹 Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi — Professor of English Literature and Orientalism, University of Tehran — on Khamenei's succession, Tehran's read on the MOU's survival, the Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan-Egypt regional recalibration, Iran's information war, and the lessons of Iran's development under decades of sanctions.

Description:
As Iran and the United States begin a new round of negotiations in Switzerland, major questions remain about the future of West Asia, Israel's regional position, and America's long-term strategy.

In this special discussion, Professor Mohammad Marandi and former US diplomat Ambassador Chas Freeman examine:

• What is really at stake in the Iran-US talks?
• Has the Iran war changed the regional balance of power?
• Why public opinion toward Israel is shifting inside the United States after Gaza and the Al-Aqsa Flood.
• The debate within Iran's leadership over negotiations with Washington.
• The rise of a new generation of Iranian leaders shaped by decades of sanctions, pressure and conflict.
• The role of the military-industrial complex in sustaining American intervention abroad.
• Whether West Asian countries can build new forms of cooperation independent of Western dominance.
• The future of US military bases and trillion-dollar military spending.

This conversation explores the geopolitical consequences of the Iran war, the future of the US-Israel relationship, regional diplomacy, and the emerging multipolar world order.
