In the wake of the recently published Memorandum of Misunderstanding between the White House and the Iranian regime, Aimen and Thomas explore what the MoU means and reflect on everything they got wrong about the Iran War.
They discuss:
How the MoU is a strategic lifeline for the Islamic Republic.
How it legitimises Iran’s proxy network, from Hezbollah to the Houthis.
How billions in frozen Iranian funds have already been released through Qatar — with American approval.
How the proposed $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran has corruption written all over it.
How it enshrines the principle that Iran can charge for access to the Strait of Hormuz.
Whether Netanyahu lured Trump into a war he did not fully understand.
The collapse of the Abraham Accords' vision for a new Middle East.
If Conflicted itself has misread Trump, populism, and the future of American power.

As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for “peace”, the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8th and 9th.
This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime. To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided.
Dealing with this regime will fail and we will all face the consequences. The regime’s 47-year war against the Iranian people continues. Just as it has never made peace with its own citizens, it will never truly make peace with the world.
The international community should back the people of Iran’s fight for freedom. Put them center in any negotiations and in their Iran policy. But let me be clear - with or without international support - this regime will fall. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny.
🚨🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:
“People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.
Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.
For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.
And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’
How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted.
This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines.
They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.
And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.
Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations.
The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.
If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.
Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.
For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”
Brunson is one of the toughest basketball players that I’ve ever seen. Through knee injuries .. ankles.. he’s still seeking contact every play no matter if he has the ball or not
