Marandi: Iran gains global support as China-Russia ties expand
Professor Mohammad Marandi told Al Mayadeen that global public opinion is increasingly leaning toward Iran. He argues that despite Western media influence, perceptions of Iran are improving while US messaging is losing impact internationally. He links this trend to growing strategic cooperation between Iran, China, and Russia, noting frequent high-level meetings and expanding economic and political alignment among the three countries. According to Marandi, Iran’s international standing has improved following the war, which he says has strengthened its partnerships with both Beijing and Moscow. He also argues that US policy under Donald Trump is contributing to greater isolation of Washington, as rival powers move closer together in response to sustained geopolitical confrontation.
