Marandi explains how Iran forced the ceasefire, stating bluntly: "Iran is not going to forsake Lebanon." He also warns that despite the pause, Tehran is actively preparing for a potential second phase of the U.S.-Israel war, one that could drag the global economy "into the abyss." #breakthroughnews Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:37:35 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/8376ca81-33da-4a21-b1a2-25a858ac8385 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
