Mohammad Marandi, professor at University of Tehran, says Iran’s experience in confronting sanctions and external pressure has increasingly drawn international attention, adding that countries such as Russia and China have looked to Iran’s model of economic resilience and resistance as they navigate similar challenges.
Referring to Iran’s National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance, Marandi says the significance of November 4 remains closely tied to Iran’s historical experience with US involvement in its domestic affairs, tracing tensions back to the 1953 coup and subsequent decades of foreign interference.
He says growing international support for Iran stems from its commitment to independence, sovereignty, and support for the Palestinian cause.
According to the academic, recent regional developments have led to a substantial change in international attitudes toward Iran, with many countries viewing Tehran as a state that has remained committed to its principles despite sustained pressure. He maintains that Iran’s resistance to external domination has earned it greater respect on the global stage.
Marandi says the combination of self-reliance, higher education, and culture of resistance has strengthened Iran’s ability to defend its sovereignty and pursue independent development despite external challenges.
