Seyed Mohammad Marandi Quotes

Western countries must swiftly end the deployment of sanctions as collective punishment and rein in their regional allies; otherwise, they may soon find a sea of refugees at their doorsteps. Using Afghanistan as a tool for regional disruption will cause blowback and Europe will suffer the consequences as never before.

The US is like a mafia boss. It illegally threatens other countries – even allies – if they don’t do as they’re told. The US must recognize that it will pay a price for its rogue behavior.

There’s going to be a tilt eastward, and to the Global South. Iran will improve relations with China and Russia, also because of US pressure and sanctions.

Iran’s foreign policy decisions are pretty clear. Iran will be putting less emphasis on Western nations, especially European, and more emphasis on the Global South, the East, neighboring countries – and of course that will include China and Russia.

Unless there is a sea-change in western mentality, this will lead to further miscalculation and conflict with Iran and its allies.

Partially due to their naive and optimistic approach towards the US and its allies, and partially due to the painful results of their liberal economic reforms, for most Iranians, Rouhani and his Reformist allies gradually became deeply unpopular.

The United States is being utterly dishonest. All the sanctions are inconsistent with the 2015 nuclear deal. The maximum pressure campaign was targeting innocent women and children. It was an act of war and the objective was to force Iran to accept changes to the nuclear deal.

Americans should know that Iranians are just as decent, human and rational as other human beings. Sadly, the mainstream media in the U.S. regularly fails to recognize and reflect this.

Iran won’t intentionally hurt the nuclear deal if the Americans – and the Europeans – move towards full implementation. The Iranians will reciprocate.

I was born in the U.S. Why should anyone who has an unfavorable view of the American government renounce his or her citizenship? Why don’t its supporters relinquish their citizenship first?

I do believe that the Iranians are a good neighbour. The Iranians have supported the people of Yemen.

I think highly of Iran & agree that the US regime is authoritarian. Seizing Iranian & pro-Resistance websites exposes the US as opposing freedom & again proves that the US weaponizes the internet. Western media & elites don’t condemn this, because they support silencing dissent.
