Seyed M. Marandi & Larry Johnson: Iran Demands Lebanon Withdrawal as U.S. Pushes for Open Hormuz

In this geopolitical breakdown, we analyze the latest US-Iran negotiations in Switzerland and the fragile MOU aimed at halting military operations. Despite recent threats from Washington, the US is severely constrained by a depleted Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the critical need to balance jet fuel and diesel supplies. We discuss the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's leverage over global shipping, and the looming energy crisis. Additionally, we examine Israel's demands regarding Hezbollah in Lebanon, shifting regional alliances involving Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, and Iran's firm stance that nuclear talks won't begin until US sanctions and frozen assets are resolved.
