Marandi: “The expectation was that this ceasefire would not hold”
Thursday, 9 April 2026 — Youtube
“I don’t know if they expected the violation to be so ugly and disgusting and barbaric and so swift, but the expectation was that this ceasefire would not hold,” Professor Marandi told Al Mayadeen.
“And the expectation was that the Zionist regime and Netanyahu would do whatever they can in order to make sure that the region remains in conflict,” he added.
Seyed Marandi said that he believes that we are going to have an escalation, pointing out that Iran has shut the Strait of Hormuz completely.
“Less ships today [April 8] have passed through the Strait of Hormuz than any other day in the past month,” he said.
“A ceasefire is a ceasefire; either we have a ceasefire or we don’t have a ceasefire,” Seyed Marandi tersely stated.
