Seyed M. Marandi: Iran Threatens to Kill Netanyahu & Will Increase Pressure on the U.S.

Iran allows oil to pass to avoid harming allies like Iraq and China, but overall flow is less than half of pre-war levels. Iran is piling on economic pressure by restricting exports of petrochemicals, sulfur, and fuel, but avoids creating an imminent global crisis.

Iran is militarily stronger than ever, with expanded underground bases and rapidly produced precise missiles and drones.

If the U.S. attempts to strangle Iran's economy, Iran will retaliate by targeting U.S. assets, blocking ports, or striking Fujairah.

The chair of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that Iran will eventually send Netanyahu to hell, implying he is a legitimate military target.

This targeting will likely extend to other senior Israeli officials involved in the war and genocide in Gaza.

Iran will send Netanyahu to hell.

Iran possesses the capability to strike U.S. naval ships but is managing the escalation ladder to win the war with minimal regional destruction.

Iran is timing increased pressure to make life difficult for Trump ahead of the November U.S. midterm elections.

The U.S. is sending diplomatic messages to renegotiate the MOU, but Iran insists the U.S. must first fulfill its obligations, including releasing assets and ending the genocide in Gaza. The U.S. violated the MOU from day one by expanding sanctions and attempting to undermine Iran's authority over the Strait of Hormuz.

Erdogan is untrustworthy due to his past cooperation with the U.S. in destroying Syria and ongoing energy exports to Israel.

If Israel attacks Turkey, Iran will go to Turkey's aid regardless of Erdogan's past actions.

The U.S. foothold in Iraq is weakening rapidly, and its military and intelligence bases across the Persian Gulf have been devastated. This conflict marks the beginning of the end of the U.S. empire, as the economic toll of siege warfare and military depletion prevent the U.S. from rebuilding its global dominance.
