Trump vs Iran: The War That Wasn’t

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this semi-emergency episode, Aimen helps Thomas unpack the last eight months of escalating tension and threats between the US and Iran, and explains why it’s now unlikely the American ‘armada’ President Trump sent to the Gulf will be going to war with Iran anytime soon. 

Thomas and Aimen discuss:

 How the 12-Day War changed Iran

 Why Israel’s Doha strike jolted the Gulf and accelerated a ceasefire

 The Saudi–Pakistan defence pact and the Abraham Accords fallout

 How the region became more militarized and less diplomatically aligned

 Iran’s protest wave and the regime’s unspeakably brutal crackdown

 How Trump’s promises were empty from the start

 Why this may be Trump’s ‘Obama red line’ moment

 What this latest example of TACO signals to China
