Seyed Mohammad Marandi

Interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria

Fareed has the rare opportunity to speak with someone on the ground in Tehran about what is really happening, but he then questions why this professor was allowed to speak when high profile opposition figures are not. Watch to find out why:

Dariush

I explained what Fareed has

by Dariush on

I explained what Fareed has done and what his intensions are. He like many of you have sold his country for a piece of pie.  Mr.Marandi is a professor not member of Ahmadinejad's administeration or revolutionary guard.  Unlike you, he was fighting the Arabs, when you put your tail on your back and ran out of country and lied, kissed and whined to save your behind from a war that was threatening Iran and Iranians by your beloved western countries, and yet you have the nerve to accuse him of being Arab and non Iranian and etc. Just take a good look at yourself before you accuse others!

Now, why is that you didn't hold demonstrations when Saddam attacked Iran and killed hundreds of thousands of true Iranians who were defending your country and dropped chemical bombs on Iranians such as Dr. Marandi?  Was it because the war was a western war and therefore, western countries and Zionist media was not supporting such demonstrations?  Were you afraid? If so, then what happened to democrocy and freedom in west?  Would that jeopardize your self interest?  Even loss of one life was too many and shouldn't have happened, but why was it that you were so silence for the death of hundreds of thousands?  Did you condemn the war? Did you try to stop the west from supporting Saddam? Unless you can answer these questions to Mr. Marandi, you have no business to accuse him of being Arab and mouth piece and etc.  

And stop putting the same old BS about this and that has killed 700 Jews thousands of years ago.  Jews are not the only creatures on this planet.  Based on your past and present history, there is nothing that can defend the Jews.  You king David was a murderer for hire.  As you all know.  He was so brutal that other tribes would pay him to do the killings and fighting for them.  Your nation was so barbaric and was made of such murderers that was named after the angel of death, Israel.  If it wasn't for your selfishness and greed, there wouldn't be a world war II, there would be no war in middle east and most other places.  why do you think God named you Israel'i?   He was sending a warning to other nations.  Now that I broke the code for you, you got nothing to be proud of.

As for Mr. Marandi, I say, It would be good to see Mr. Marandi and other academics join the human rights organizations in Iran and help Mrs. Shirin Ebadi and others to bring a true democrocy to Iran.  If we put humanity first and stand for justice, we will not go wrong and everything will fall in place.  Mr. Marandi said, west is try to create tension and division. Of course they are, and they don't intend to listen to your advice and change their behavior.  The question is, how do we deal with it?  By playing into their hand and killing each other creating more division and tensions?  Different fights requires different strategies and the only way to fight division is human rights, freedom and democracy, not machine guns.

There is a story about a man who lived in a big old house with big old walls. Every time the wall cracked, the man covered the crack with some mud. Until the house came down on him. The man stood on the crumbled house and asked, why did you came down? At lease you could have warned me. The house said, I tried for many years to tell you, but every time I opened my mouth, you stick some mud in my mouth and shut me up.  It is kind of like people and the country. You don't shut people up or the whole country will come down.

Daryush please read my previous comment. I know Sassan (you call him Dr.) more than you. He was friend of mine for many years. 

People here are not idiots. My self have university education and a professor in my field. Idiots are those who denying the truth and the good news is that the truth will be revealed sooner or latter. So please be patient.

His Wife is an Arab (Iraqi _ Lebanon)

by SAara on

I know this Mr Marandi very well, he finished his PhD at Birmingham University (UK) with the government’s support, and he got a good position at Tehran university when he got back to Iran as they promised him!   

His father Alireza Marandi MD,ex minister of Health.

His wife Saloomeh is originaly from Lebanon and they both are  big fans of Khameneiy!

So wthat did you expect to hear from him? lol


Daryush

I had a class with him

by Daryush on

Dr. Marandi is a very nice, passionate and intelligent man. He lacks some openmindness when it comes to the Islamic Republic, but so what?

It's like any other country that some people like the regime and some are critical of it. I like him, he gave me an A (After review of my final)

Dr. Marandi, if you are reading this, remember me? Daryush M ?

Keep healthy.


Sohrab_Ferdows

Absolutely a loser

by Sohrab_Ferdows on

I find the comments in support of Mr. Marandi to be a very pathetic effort to support a losing point and as far as negative remarks on Fareed Zakaria and his nationality, it is pathetically racist and rude. Mr. Zakaria has done a great job as an interviewer in this clip and that is what a good interviewer supposed to do when someone responds with silly, stupid and irrelevant rhetoric to clear questions.


navh

Freedom to walk in the streets

by navh on

I'm just wondering; who should I send my thank you note to, for giving us the extraordinary freedom to walk in the street, as Professor Marandi mentioned.

Sadly however, even this minimal freedom is really non existant in Iran, since dozens have been killed in the very same streets.


choghok

Interviewing is reporting!

by choghok on

This is not access hollywood, oprah or any other ass kissing program. You are here to answer questions and if you are making strange remarks you should be rosted for them.

Fareed was asking questions about the unrest in Iran. This clown could have answered seriously but he started to ridicule and play with words. I find it demeaning to all the people killed in jail, all the families that have lost loved ones. He calls them UK and US spies and agents and you want the reporter not to project the other side, to sit quiet and let him shout his propaganda.

A lot of people got angry by the reception of Ahmadinejad at Columbia University but I thought it was correct. Do you still think that the host of Columbia was rude to Ahmadinejad or was he just frank?

I think this is really a lesson to be learned by Iranians to not to be nice to the people on top. Put a side all "Taarof" and be frank like Fareed.

This Marandi moron is NOT "one of us" and neither are YOU, if you support this Arabized beast of a regime. TRUE IRANIANS would never behave in this barbaric manner toward their own people! Do you think Khamenei, Khomeini, Khalkali or Rafsanjani are "true" Iranians? HELL NO!!! These monsters were/are Arabized beasts (=Islamists) and they love Islam more than they love Iran, and as such, they are NOT one of us -- they are NOT Iranian in the true sense of the word (even though they all have Iranian birth certificates).

To be Iranian, you first have to be HUMAN. And then you have to behave honorably (good words, good thoughts, good deeds). All these turbaned animals listed above fail the very first basic test, i.e., the requirement to be human. These beasts have a bedouin mindset and a black heart -- lest we forget that Mohammad and Ali beheaded 700 Jews and Mohammad fought 78 battles, 77 of them being offensive.

Indeed, the violence within the average Islamist's black heart is hereditary and goes back to the very origins of the beastly belief system.

Dariush

Fareed is a sucker

by Dariush on

I had seen a few interviews of Mr. Marandi and I had found him very polite and reasonable. I think like many he is so focused on fighting the imperialism that he has lost track of the purpose of the fight.  I like you Mr. Marandi served and was volunteered number of times.  I like you still fight the imperialism, not for the sake of fighting, but Justice, I have the most respect for he bsigis and armed forces who fought so bravely to defend the country, but this is not the bsigis we knew and this is not the way to fight the imperialism and this is not Justice.  Maybe your comments are not to help the government, but to protect Iran.  Unfortunately with the action the government has taken since the election, the damage is done.  No reasoning is going to justify that.  I very well understand the points Mr. Marandi is making, but there are two ways to deal with issues, wise way and foolish way. Unfortunately the  government has taken the foolish way.  setting all the political prisoners free and taking the armed militia off the street is a start to the wise way.

I also find it very pathetic that a mouth peace and kisser named Fareed Zakaria who has forgotten the starving people of his home country India and was one of the few advisers to the Bush administeration and an advocate of the invasion of Iraq that resulted in killing, injuring and torturing millions of people, who in Jan of 2009 claimed a false victory of the invasion, one who shamelessly denies the support of the United States of Saddam by any means including chemical weapons, who has got the guts to accuse an academic and MP who has spent many years defending his country with his life and spending the rest of his life teaching, of being a mouth peace. 

Well, Fareed did all he could to get as much as he possibly can to use in his anti Iran news reports to help with the sanctions and his next invasion initiatives,  but Marandi was just too smart for him.

I suppose Fareed will deny his involvements in this criminal invasion despite the objection of the United nation and the use of chemical weapons in Fallujah and number of other areas as well.  What else can we expect from a real mouth peace.

Then we have Iranians who speak of nationalism, democrocy and freedom and are willing to crucify one of their own who has a different view and compliment a sucker.

Sasan (Mohammad), do you remember ....?

by Razmande on

Sasan do you remember when you came to Iran from US and started your secondery school in Fargham (Fajr) school (near 7th of Tir square)? Remember those days that as a friend of yours and an Islamic activist (even higher than you in our ranks those days), you had difficulty in speaking Farsi and we used to help you mostly? I still remember our Omore tarbiati: Mr. Shariat and his deputy Mr. Hadad. I hope you still remember those people and your friends. Sasan, I went to revolutionary guard like you and served my beloved country in those days and in war time. I had official positions like you but I think we have one difference (now) that you are not any more in the line of truth and god. Sasan, my old days friend, you need to support our iranian people and not individuals that are killing, torturing and prisoning our beloved country men and women. Sasan, pray and ask for guidance from god and when you find that you have made a mistake then applogise from our brave people. Remember, we did not get the power from Shah to kill inocent people. God help you Sasan.

Didn't Fareed deny that US supplied chemical weapons to Iran?!!!

That's when he lost his crdibility with me, unless I heard it wrong! If that's the case, he needs to keep his job as well!

The Mouth of Sauron

by John on

When Mohammad Marandi denies being "the Mouth of Sauron" he unintentionally betrays the true situation.  Being able to so glibly and seamlessly make this reference shows that he has thought of the parallels between his position and that of the mouthpiece that appeared before the Black Gates of Mordor.  Priceless!

He reminds me of the lost souls who fought for Taliban

by mahmoudg on

Reminds me of the morons who were brainwashed by the Wahabis to go to Afganistan and fight for Taliban.  In this moron's case he was brainwashed by the Iranian Shiites.  After thirty years the world now knows the difference between the Wahabis Islam and the Shiite Islam is only in the type of Turban they wear.  Otherwise they are both backward in thinking and run after an idelogy which had died 1400 years agon right in thw womb in inception. 

I wonder how many Iranian Americans we have lost to this demonic cult or how many more will we loose to their scary tactics?


Faramarz

All Looks Good to This Loony

by Faramarz on

Fareed Zakaria is a great journalist and his GPS show on CNN on Sunday mornings is probably one of the most informative programs on TV.
I think that he did a great job of exposing this phony clown, Marandi
on Sunday. Fareed Zakaria has been covering the events in Iran in the
past month and he has been personally affected by the arrest of his
close friend and Newsweek colleague Maziar Bahari. Mr. Bahari is a
documentary film maker and a Canadian citizen who has not been heard
from since his June 20th disappearance in Tehran.

The exchange between Fareed Zakaria and this shameless loser, Marandi,
especially the way that he wanted to portray the events in Iran as
normal and mere law-enforcement activities reminded me of similar
interactions during the hostage crisis. Back then, in the early days of
the hostage crisis, Ted Koppel or Walter Cronkite would bring some of
the officials of the regime on TV a few nights a week to get updates on
the situation; people like foreign minister Ghotb-Zadeh, Yazdi, Bani
Sadr and others. This clueless bunch would try to act and look friendly
to the American audience and at the same time project an aura of
authority and control over the situation, which they did not have.

Walter Cronkite could not say Ghotb-Zadeh’s name properly. There were
not enough vowels in Ghotb, so he would call him Mr. Gaaboo-Zadeh (how
appropriate)!

Here is my favorite exchange on CBS nightly News:


Walter Cronkite: “Mr. Gaaboo-Zadeh, when will you be releasing the hostages and how are they being treated?”

Ghotb-Zadeh in thick Persian accent: “They will be released very soon.
They are being treated very well. Every day they get good food and good
fooroot (fruits)!”

And those of us, who had to endure this exchange, just dropped our heads in shame.

Reza-Rio de Janeiro

Marandi = Either very scared or a sociopath.

by Reza-Rio de Janeiro on

Psychopath/Socio-path Marandi and his likes are the last mouth pieces of this EVIL regime.

 

I particulary was delighted When  Zakaria asked Marandi if in 20 years he wouldn't  be worried to be judged as the last mouth piece of a Dying and Repressive regime?! and with his smooth English like the old Soviet's spokesmen style...

Soon all these bastard Islamic Republic officials and agents will be defeated, arrested and will be thrown in psychiatic hospitals and prisons by thousands...

Fareed Zakaria, Thank you for exposing the true EVIL face of an oppresive Islamic regime in Iran and their lying hypocrite and mentally ill agents like Marandi and likes of him to the world. Proving how ignorant and mentally ill and deranged they are......

Free Iran and Iranians for ever.... 


capt_ayhab

ahhhh

by capt_ayhab on

Some mouth pieces particularly this guy Marandi have no honor and no dignity, to have sold their souls for position in university. If it wasn't for his service during the war[which is debatable] I would have had much nicer words for him ;-)

Although not very found of Fareed but I am glad that he did his job by exposing this moron.
