A former member of Iran’s negotiating team has issued a stark and urgent warning. Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi of Tehran University took to social media on April 21, 2026, and told everyone to leave the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait immediately. He did not stop there.
He also warned sailors on all ships in the Persian Gulf to prepare to abandon their vessels. He said this is especially urgent for ships near the Strait of Hormuz, which he claimed will be the first to be destroyed. His final words were simple and chilling. Time is running out.
