Mohammad Marandi, a former member of Iran's nuclear negotiation team and a regime insider, dismissed President Trump's recent warning as 'delusions,' telling a journalist that Tehran is fully prepared for war, according to Barak Betesh (i24NEWS).
Mohammad Marandi, a prominent Iranian political analyst and former member of Iran's nuclear negotiation team, responded dismissively to President Trump's recent warning to Tehran on Monday evening. 'I don't even bother responding to Trump's delusions. We are ready for war,' Marandi said, as quoted by Barak Betesh (i24NEWS). Marandi is widely regarded as a voice close to the Iranian regime's inner circle and has frequently appeared in state media as a defender of the Islamic Republic's positions. His remarks follow a weekend of escalated US-Iran tensions, including reported heightened alert levels for the Iranian military and sharp statements from other Iranian officials. While Marandi is not a formal government spokesman, his close ties to the establishment mean his comment signals the regime's hardened public posture. He did not specify what military readiness entails or whether Iran anticipates a near-term confrontation. As The Zioneer has reported over the past days, a series of Iranian figures — from the armed forces spokesman to parliamentary officials — have issued warnings of a 'harsh' or 'decisive' response to Trump's stance, while US officials have said that Washington has not abandoned diplomacy even after authorizing new strikes.
