Iran DESTROYS US Middle East Hegemony | Prof. S.M. Marandi

Description

The level to which the US has been beaten out of West Asia has yet to sink in. And although this war is not over, the strategic victroy Iran has reached after 2.5 months has surpased even the most optimistic assessments of Iran supporters. What does the Trump visit to China have to do with the way the war will continue, and what is the strategy of Tehran going forward? To answer this, I'm joined again by Professor Seyed M. Marandi from the University of Tehran.
