Seyed M. Marandi: Iran Threatens to Kill Netanyahu & Will Increase Pressure on the U.S. (Video)

In this 30 August 2026 published video, host Prof. Glenn Diesen talks with Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran’s nuclear negotiation team. Marandi discusses that Iran threatened to send Netanyahu to “hell”, and will likely also increase pressure on the U.S. in response to the economic warfare against Iran. The escalation follows statements made by top Iranian officials, including Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei, and was heavily commented on by University of Tehran Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi

Major General Mohsen Rezaei stated during an interview with Al-Manar television that Iran would “send Benjamin Netanyahu to hell,” declaring that the Israeli prime minister’s strategic choices have brought Israel closer to its end. Rezaei also accused Netanyahu of fabricating rumors about an Iranian assassination plot involving Donald Trump to disrupt Washington’s decision-making. Professor Marandi has publicly weighed in on these developments. He has consistently argued that the U.S. government is acting on an “Israel-first” policy that pushes the region toward all-out war. In recent broadcasts, Marandi highlighted Iran’s shift toward an active war economy and heightened military surge, framing a broader regional clash as increasingly inevitable. Iran has threatened that it will strike 100% of U.S. economic interests in the region with “intensity and force” if the current maritime blockade against it continues. Tehran has outlined contingencies that include shutting down the strategic Strait of Hormuz via ballistic missiles, drone swarms, and naval maneuvers. These aggressive stances from Tehran come in response to Washington’s newly launched economic sanctions campaign, dubbed “Operation Economic Outcast,” aimed at cutting off remaining Iranian revenue streams and crippling the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Iran has also signaled that any country co-operating with or assisting the United States or Israel in military operations will be considered a fair target, firmly establishing Beirut and its southern suburbs as strict red lines.
