Marandi: US cannot expect a ceasefire while attacking Iran

Tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate as both sides exchange military strikes and accusations. In this episode of The Heat, CGTN America's Anand Naidoo speaks with Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran. The Tehran-based political analyst argues that Iran's actions are preemptive, criticizes US policy and its regional allies, and says the prospects for diplomacy depend on whether Washington changes course. #Heat #US #Iran #War #Hormuz #Iraq #Yemen #worldnow #Marandi 00:00 Mohammad Marandi: How Tehran sees the new strikes 01:52 Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Gulf states drawn into the war 06:15 Trump warns Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz 08:33 Has diplomacy reached a dead end? 11:03 Assessing the current hostilities 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
