Iran is Not Scared of Israeli Retaliation, Used Old Missiles on Oct 1 Out of Restraint-Prof Marandi

Iran is not scared of any Israeli retaliation; Iran used old missiles on the 1st to exercise restraint; Iran has huge military capacity & Israel will lose this war: Mohammad Marandi, Professor, University of Tehran, to The Wire.
..........................................
A Tehran University Professor who is a prominent presence on Al Jazeera and a former Media Advisor to the Iranian Nuclear Negotiation Team, has claimed that Iran used old missiles in the attack on Israel on the 1st suggesting that this was a deliberate act of restraint on Tehran’s part. Prof. Mohammad Marandi also said that Iran is not worried or scared by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s threat to pay Iran back. He says Iran’s nuclear and oil and gas infrastructure is extremely well-protected because, for decades, it has had to protect these installations against any possible American attack. An attack by Israel can, therefore, be easily handled. Prof. Marandi also denied that Ayatollah Khamenei had been taken to a safe house for protection after the killing of Hassan Nasrallah.
Speaking about Hezbollah, Prof. Marandi suggested that the killing of Hassan Nasrallah and perhaps 10-12 top commanders, including possibly, Hashem Safieddine is because Beirut is a weak link for Hezbollah. He said in the rest of the country Hezbollah’s strength is unaffected. However, he couldn’t explain why the Secretary General of Hezbollah and his presumed successor, Hashem Safieddine, were based in the weak link area of Beirut.
I will stop there. This is a 26-minute interview where you can hear Prof. Marandi’s responses to several questions including about what Iran believes it achieved on the 1st with its missile attack.

That is how good interviews work. If the guest derails, it is an interviewer's skill to keep the interview on track without offending or getting offended. It is a very delicate thing to do. Conversations are not concrete or iron or steel. It's very easy for either individual to wander off the path.

@@aneil3041 I don't like what is real or the Iranians or the West is doing in this war. But Karan didn't seem to have any 'agenda' here. Please remember that the questions he asked were very important. This escalation in the middle east could break the whole region apart. Iran is not Iraq or Afghanistan. The present Iranian regime (which I don't like) wasn't installed by the US like Saddam was. Things could get real bad if thigs go down this trajectory. War is a serious business and is filled with a mountain of lies from all sides. If the guest said anything controversial or revealed something about his country, he could get in trouble in Iran. Those questions very very important and Karan tried to free the answers from war propaganda. That's my opinion. And he did allow his guest's point to get across.

One of the most important things in communication is PROVIDING CONTEXT before the actual answer (to neutralise any ambiguity or hidden meanings). So when you rush a person to directly get to the point without first providing full context - you'll end up with question marks in your mind - and make wrong conclusions/interpretations. And you'll pass on false information to other people. DANGEROUS!
