This video features an interview with Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team, regarding the United States' shifting strategy toward Iran.

Prof. Diesen stresses the disgraceful effects for peace of the West's enforced limits to political discourse, permitting only a repetition of Washington's cynical claims to be acting in defense of "liberal democracies and Western values" against "rogue nations" like Iran resisting Washington's self-serving imperial diktats, the latter ever more clear in the age of Trump.
