‘The View From Tehran’

March 15, 2026

Guest: Sayed Mohammad Marandi. Interviewer: Joe Lauria

For two weeks, Iran has been under relentless bombardment from the U.S. and Israel in a barbaric war of aggression rooted in a profound ignorance of the country they seek to conquer.

Thinking About the Unthinkable: Iran’s Grand Plan to End U.S. Presence in the Middle East

March 9, 2026
Michael Hudson
Iran and Donald Trump have each explained why failure to fight the current war to the end would simply lead to a new set of mutual attacks. Trump announced on March 6 that “There will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender,” and announced that he must have a voice in naming or at least approving Iran’s new leader, as he has just done in Venezuela. “If the U.S. military must utterly defeat it and bring about a regime change, or else you go through this, and then in five years you realize you put somebody in who’s no better.” It will take at least that long for America to replace the weaponry that has been depleted, rebuild its radar and related installations and mount a new war.
