Professor Mohammad Marandi, an expert on American studies at the University of Tehran, joins Rania Khalek to break down the 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire that took effect on April 17 — and Iran’s announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is now “completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire.” Marandi explains how Iran forced the ceasefire, stating bluntly: “Iran is not going to forsake Lebanon.” He also warns that despite the pause, Tehran is actively preparing for a potential second phase of the U.S.-Israel war, one that could drag the global economy “into the abyss.” #breakthroughnews
