Al Jazeera, Mohamed Marandi, Middle East Sovereignty Debate
Al Jazeera hosted a debate featuring University of Tehran professor Mohamed Marandi, who argued that the U.S. is illegally occupying parts of Syria and Iraq. Marandi claimed that Iranian influence in the region is at the invitation of sovereign governments, whereas U.S. presence is rejected by local parliaments. The discussion also touched on the "Chatham House" perspective regarding regional stability and proxy networks.
