Regarded as the voice of Iran in the hostile Western media, Professor Syed Mohammad Marandi, who was a member of President EbrahimRaisi’s delegation to Sri Lanka, says West Asia will not see peace unless and until Israel abandons its policies of racial hierarchy, ethnic supremacism, and apartheid. In a wide-ranging interview with the Sunday Times journalist Ameen Izzadeen, Prof. Marandi, an expert in Orientalism, says the United States’ international clout is on the decline and any more sanctions on Iran will have little or no impact on the Islamic Republic. He also says Iran’s nuclear assets are well insulated against any external attacks. Exclusive interview:
The government today granted permission for an Iranian warship with 208 on board to enter the country.
The United States has told Sri Lanka that the disposition of the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Bushehr and its crew is a matter for Colombo to resolve under its own laws and international obligations, while signalling it is in active talks with Sri Lanka to contain Iran’s threat to US interests.
