PROF. MOHAMMAD MARANDI: Trump’s Iran War Is Backfiring — Iran Will NOT Surrender. What Happens Next?

Three highly advanced U.S. missiles struck a wedding, killing five people including a 22-year-old woman, a small child, and a teenager, further outraging Iranians.

The U.S. is investigating the incident but is skeptical of Iranian state media reports and maintains the U.S. never intentionally targets civilians.

Only 41 civilians have died in Arab countries hosting U.S. bases, compared to huge numbers in Iran, showing Iranians are careful not to strike civilian targets while Americans are indifferent.

Research shows thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed by the United States and Israel since the war began on February 28th.

The U.S. killed 168 schoolchildren in Minab, Trump tried to blame Iran despite Tomahawk footage, and the promised investigation has produced no results after six months.

There is no active shooting war; major combat operations lasted six weeks, and the U.S. will not set an artificial timeline because Iran continues to shoot at commercial ships.

The U.S. is waging siege warfare by blocking food and medicine, targeting the entire Iranian population, while Iran only targets ships of countries assisting the U.S. and will normalize the Strait if the U.S. honors the MOU.

Iranian retaliation has become heavy-handed and outweighs U.S. strikes, and Iran will make the Strait of Hormuz more difficult to navigate.

If the U.S. tries to further strangle Iran's economy, Iran will retaliate by striking economic assets across the region.

The chair of the Supreme National Security Council stated Iran will send Netanyahu to hell, while dismissing claims about targeting Trump's son or assassinating Trump as propaganda. The first vice president warned Americans to prepare for great hardship, signaling Iran is going on the offensive.

The Iranian currency has dropped 10-15% due to sanctions, but life in Tehran is unchanged; if sanctions have a real impact, Iran will retaliate.
