Aimen's prediction on 4 August came true, and in the intervening weeks the United States have ramped up the economic pressure on the Iranian regime. The question is: how with the IRGC react? The war re-escalated over the weekend, and as the Iranian people began to make their feelings felt, all indications are that peace is farther away than ever. Aimen and Thomas discuss: Operation Economic Outcast: US sanctions and regional trade restrictions tighten Iran's economic isolation. Strait of Hormuz: US demining, Gulf oil exports and Iran's new underwater drone threat reshape the naval war. Iran's economic crisis: collapsing rial, inflation, shortages and possible unrest increase pressure on the IRGC. UAE-Iran trade: Dubai's historic commercial role shrinks as Gulf states join Washington's economic campaign. US strategy in the Gulf: Trump administration cohesion, long-term military deployment and growing concern about China. Iran escalation risks: attacks on Gulf infrastructure, domestic repression and renewed US-Iran fighting. Tactical nuclear weapons: Aimen warns the conflict could cross the nuclear threshold if escalation continues.

AI is popping up in many corners of society, but how are doctors using it in their practice? We asked our physician listeners to call in, and many of you did. What we heard mirrored broad trends: that more and more doctors are using AI tools for diagnosis, paperwork, and getting up to speed on patients. But they also have concerns. So how is AI changing medical care? And how is it affecting patients? Joining Host Flora Lichtman to sort fact from hallucination is physician-computer scientist Jonathan Chen, who's studied the accuracy of these models and how healthcare workers use them. Guest: Dr. Jonathan Chen is an associate professor of medicine and director for Medical Education in Artificial Intelligence at Stanford University.

Episode Overview Considering a GLP-1 can bring up a surprising amount of internal conflict. Maybe part of you is curious or hopeful, while another part wonders if taking medication is "cheating." Maybe you think you should be able to lose weight on your own, worry about what other people will think, or aren't sure what choosing medication says about you and your efforts. If the decision feels heavier than you expected, there's a reason. In this episode, Annie and Jen unpack four reasons women may feel conflicted about trying a GLP-1. They explore our beliefs about hard work and deserving results, the pressure to do weight loss "on your own," fears about needing medication long-term, and the judgment and outside opinions that can make an already personal decision even harder. They also challenge the idea that you have to choose between medication and behavior change. GLP-1s and sustainable habits can be complementary tools, and the skills you build around food, movement, and caring for yourself still matter whether you try a GLP-1, stay on one, stop taking one, or never use one at all. This episode isn't about telling you whether you should or shouldn't take a GLP-1. It's about helping you understand why the decision can feel so complicated, separate your own wants and values from the noise around you, and make a choice that feels right for you.

Key Points Why deciding whether to use a GLP-1 can feel so emotionally complicated The "cheating" narrative, pressure to do it on your own, and why we associate struggle with deserving results Why GLP-1s and behavior change don't have to be an either/or decision Questions to help you separate outside pressure from what you actually want for yourself
In this Conflicted Conversation, Simon Sebag Montefiore returns to the show, this time to talk about his new book The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East. Simon explains: How Britain and France tried — and often failed — to shape the post-Ottoman Middle East Why Sykes–Picot is a misleading shorthand for the region's modern borders How Atatürk, Nasser and other Middle Eastern leaders remade the region through their own choices The violent shift from Ottoman pluralism to nationalist, more homogeneous states Why Nasser's charisma produced a powerful Arab myth but a disastrous authoritarian model Why traditional monarchies in Morocco, Jordan and the Gulf often outlasted revolutionary republics How America became the Middle East's dominant anti-imperial imperial power after Europe's retreat Why militias, parastates and insurgencies make “total victory” in today's Middle East so elusive Find Simon on X: x.com/simonmontefiore Visit Simon's website: www.simonsebagmontefiore.com Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Yemeni researcher and political analyst Baraa Shiban (and dear friend of the show) is back not only to give us an update on Yemen now that the civil war (and Saudi Arabia's role in it) are heating up again, but also to give Thomas a much-deserved dressing down for not going far enough to hold Jeremy Hunt to account for his role in the Stockholm Agreement. Baraa explains: The collapse of the 2022 Yemen truce and renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and Red Sea shipping The Yemen battlefield map: Houthi control of Sanaa, Hodeidah and the northwest versus government-held south and east The strategic importance of Marib and Hadramaut, including Saudi-trained National Shield and Emergency Forces Mocha, the Giants Brigades and the impact of the UAE withdrawal on anti-Houthi military capabilities The Stockholm Agreement and how the 2018 ceasefire strengthened long-term Houthi leverage Why the Houthis are escalating now and how renewed fighting serves Iran's regional strategy Houthi links with the IRGC, Hezbollah and Iraqi militias, including operations and financial networks in Iraq Saudi war aims, the Mecca Accords and the emerging Saudi–Turkey–Pakistan security architecture Follow Baraa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baraashiban/ Follow Baraa on X: https://x.com/BShtwtr Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Turning their attention away from Iran and toward another Middle Eastern hotspot, Aimen and Thomas explain the course of events in Libya since the Arab Spring. Seismic political events are underway in that sad country, which has been riven by civil war and political division for over fifteen years. They discuss: The difference between East and West Libya First Libyan Civil War: state collapse and militia fragmentation NATO intervention and Western short-termism Khalifa Haftar: from Gaddafi officer to eastern strongman Second Libyan Civil War: Operation Dignity and divided government Libya proxy war: Egypt, UAE, Russia, Turkey and Qatar Libyan oil politics: NOC, Central Bank and Haftar's leverage U.S.-backed Libya deal: Saddam Haftar, Dbeibah and Pakistan mediation Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Nicholas Morton discusses his new book The Crusader Storm: A Global History of the Wars for the Middle East. Associate Professor in History at Nottingham Trent University, Nicholas reframes the Crusades as one part of a much larger transformation of the medieval Middle East, driven above all by Seljuk-Turkmen expansion, Byzantine contraction, Fatimid decline and the fragmentation of political power. Nicholas explains: The Seljuk-Turkmen transformation of the medieval Middle East Why the Crusades were not the region's main event Dandanqan, nomadic warfare and the rise of Seljuk power Abbasids, Fatimids and fragmented government before the First Crusade Manzikert, Byzantine civil war and the Turkish conquest of Anatolia Frankish-Turkish rivalry, alliances and shared warrior culture Crusader violence and Christianity's uneasy relationship with holy war Nizari Ismailis, Seljuk civil wars and competing Muslim priorities Damascus and Byzantium as key powers in Crusader geopolitics The Middle East as a crossroads of trade, ideas and cultural exchange Follow Nicholas on X: https://x.com/NicholasMorto11 On Bluesky: @nicmorton.bsky.social On Instagram: @Nicholas Morton And his You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MedievalNearEast Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Justin Marozzi discusses his new book Captives and Companions: A History of Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Islamic World. Justin traces the long, varied history of slavery in the Islamic world, arguing that slavery could sometimes offer remarkable paths to freedom and power, but that these exceptions never erased the violence of capture, ownership and exploitation—or the uneasy entanglement of abolition with Western imperialism. Justin explains: The scale and longevity of slavery in the Islamic world The spiritual status of enslaved people in early Islam The Quran, manumission and the legal regulation of slavery The Islamic conquests and the expansion of slave-taking Anti-black racism and the Zanj Revolt in Abbasid Iraq Concubines, eunuchs, and sexual slavery Mamluks, Janissaries and elite forms of servitude Christian and Muslim slave-raiding across the Mediterranean Ottoman abolition and its entanglement with Western imperialism Modern slavery, Daesh and hereditary servitude in Mauritania Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Donald Trump has once again stepped back from a threatened major attack on Iran. So has America lost the Iran War? Or is Trump's apparent hesitation part of a longer strategy to exhaust the Iranian regime? Aimen and Thomas discuss: Whether Iran has outmanoeuvred Trump despite America's overwhelming military superiority Aimen's three possible futures for the war: US withdrawal, prolonged attrition or extreme escalation Why an American retreat could unleash an even more destructive regional war Israel, the Gulf states and Pakistan in a Middle East without American restraint The revival of the US–Iran MoU and President Pezeshkian's lack of authority over the IRGC America's possible ‘death by a thousand cuts' strategy against Iran's military and economy Iran's collapsing currency, soaring inflation and ability to withstand prolonged pressure Trump's highly personal style of government and the absence of a stable American war strategy The limits of air power and America's repeated failure to convert destruction into political victory The danger of nuclear escalation if Iran races towards a bomb or misreads Trump's restraint as weakness Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

There is a lie that has been quietly holding you back, and it is not the one you think. You already know the prosperity gospel is a lie. But there is a second lie sitting on the other end of that same spectrum, and it is the one that got me. For 12 years it made me feel guilty for teaching women how to build profitable businesses. In this episode I am naming it out loud, walking you through what Scripture actually says, and telling you the story of the assignment nobody around me understood. This one is for the entrepreneurs. If God gave you a business idea, a business vision, that restless entrepreneurial spirit that not everybody carries, this episode is written with you in mind. I am naming a lie I have believed almost the entire time I have been a believer. Most of us can spot the prosperity gospel from a mile away. The idea that God's goal for your life is to make you rich, and that wealth is the proof you are pleasing Him, is a lie from the pit of hell. But there is a second lie living on the opposite end of that same spectrum, and it is the one that got me. It sounds spiritual. It says that if you are broke, scraping by, or buried in debt, you must be living a more godly life. Both ends breed the same pride. I have watched prosperity gospel people look down on the broke, and I have watched people with a poverty mindset look down on the wealthy. Neither one glorifies God. Here is why that second lie is so costly for us specifically. When you are called into business, generating revenue is not greed. It is the assignment. If you have no revenue and you have overhead, and every single one of us has overhead, you slide into debt fast. I have lived there. And I cannot find one place in Scripture where being in debt glorifies God. Owe no one anything except to love one another. The borrower is servant to the lender. When the widow in 2 Kings went to Elisha about the debt that was about to cost her her sons, God did not hand her money. He told her to take the little she had, multiplied it, and sent her out to sell it, pay the debt, and live on the rest. That is the essence of business right there. So the real question is never how much money you want. The question is what has God called you to do, and are you being diligent in it. If He called you into nonprofit, your assignment includes asking for money. If He called you into business, your assignment includes creating solutions, solving problems, and selling. There are entrepreneurs sitting on a God given calling who are too afraid to start, or too afraid to ask for the sale, and they call it humility. It is not humility. It is a lie standing in the way of obedience. I share the personal side of this too. My year in discipleship school was five hours a day in the Word, at a mission equipping school built to send people overseas. I could not go. I had just been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and had extreme dietary restrictions, so the mission field was closed to me. I watched people around me quit careers, raise funds, and go. And I felt like I was not doing God's work. What I did instead was start a podcast. Nobody in that school looked at a podcast and saw a mission field. But it was an assignment, and I obeyed it. Over 260 episodes later, millions of downloads later, hundreds of people have told me they gave their lives to Christ or recommitted their lives to Christ through it. Those are only the ones I know about. I also tell you about the email that got under my skin. I hosted a beautiful business event for my ladies at the Ritz Carlton. Elegant setting, incredible service, and the most God centered conversations, with lives changing in front of me. Then came an email from a missionary telling me it was not godly to host a business event in a place like that. And I listened. I let it shrink me. That is the danger of handing your assignment over to people who were never given it, even well meaning believers who mean you no harm at all. If you have been quietly wondering whether your calling counts, whether helping people with their marriage or their health or their finances is spiritual enough to matter, hear me. When you help someone get back into integrity in an area of their life, you free them to do what God put them here to do. That is kingdom work. And the revenue that comes from it is not the point, it is the fuel. More to give to the church and to those in need. More time for the Bible study, the street corner, the video, the ministry you cannot get to while you are trading every hour for a paycheck. I have had a vision on my board for six years now. A thousand women building six figure incomes, and even ten percent of that flowing to the kingdom is millions of dollars a year. This lie has been standing between me and that vision, and I am done with it. You will never hear me preach the prosperity gospel here. You will never hear me preach the poverty gospel either. We do not chase money. We do the assignment. And if the assignment is business, part of it is generating revenue and growing it with integrity, diligence, and excellence. The episode closes with a prayer over you, that you would not bury the talents and the skills God handed you. Three Take Home Points 1. Both ends of the spectrum are a lie. The prosperity gospel says wealth proves your righteousness. The poverty gospel says lack proves it. Both produce the exact same fruit, which is pride, and both take your eyes off the only question that matters. Your application: Ask yourself honestly which of the two you have been quietly agreeing with. If you have ever felt a flicker of spiritual superiority over someone with money, or felt shame for wanting your business to be profitable, name it today and put it under the truth of God's Word instead. 2. Revenue is an integrity issue, not a money issue. If God called you into business, then creating solutions and selling them is not a distraction from your assignment. It is the assignment. Not generating revenue in a business you were called to build is not humility. It is disobedience wearing humility's clothes. Your application: Look at the offer you have been avoiding, the price you have been apologizing for, or the ask you have not made. Make it this week. Treat it as obedience, because that is exactly what it is. 3. Your assignment will not look like everyone else's, and the wrong voices will try to talk you out of it. Nobody in my discipleship school saw a podcast as a mission field. One email from a missionary had me questioning whether I should host business events at all. Millions of downloads and hundreds of salvations later, I know what that obedience was worth. Your application: Get clear on who actually has permission to speak into your calling. If a voice does not understand the assignment God gave you, that voice does not get a vote. Write down what God has told you to do, and stop putting it up for review. Scriptures Referenced (NKJV) Romans 13:8, on owing no one anything except love Proverbs 22:7, on the borrower being servant to the lender Matthew 6:33, the verse the entire God-Centered Success podcast is built on Proverbs 31, the woman who buys, sells, and profits 2 Kings 4:1 to 7, the widow, the oil, and the debt God told her to sell her way out of Timestamps 00:00 Who this episode is for 00:50 The lie that held me back for 12 years 03:09 The prosperity gospel, one end of the lie 03:36 The poverty mindset, the other end of the lie 04:56 Why revenue is not optional when you have been called into business 05:24 What Scripture actually says about debt 05:54 The widow, the oil, and what God told her to do 07:17 The only question that matters 08:42 Fear, not greed, is what keeps most called entrepreneurs from selling 10:04 What your revenue makes possible for the kingdom 10:59 When your calling feels too small to matter 11:52 The vision on my board, 1,000 women and millions to the kingdom 12:22 Neither gospel will ever be preached on this podcast 14:48 Discipleship school and the mission field I could not go to 16:15 The assignment nobody around me understood 18:39 The email from the missionary and the Ritz Carlton event 20:06 The mission field in my own hometown 21:06 Every calling that improves a life glorifies God 22:58 Do the assignment, do not chase the money 24:25 Closing prayer over you Special Invitation... I told you I have been creating behind the scenes, and this is the first of it. I am opening five spots for one on one coaching with me. Five. That is not scarcity for the sake of scarcity, that is simply how many women I can pour into properly over the next 90 days. Here is what you get. A customized 90 day game plan. Not a template. Yours. We map out your content strategy, your offer strategy, and your monetization strategy, with the exact steps and the timeline to follow so you always know what you are doing next and why. Coaching with me for 90 days to actually implement it. A plan sitting in a folder has never changed anyone's life. We build it and then we walk it out together. Voxer access to me anytime. When the question comes up on a Tuesday afternoon, you do not sit on it until the next call. You send it to me and you keep moving. If you have been sitting on a calling, quietly wondering whether it is godly enough to build, this is your invitation to stop wondering and start being obedient with a plan attached. Five spots. Go to buildwithmia.com Much love, Mia :) P.S. If this episode spoke to you, would you share it with one woman who has been sitting on her calling? And if you have a minute, leaving a review helps this message reach the women who need it most.
In this Conflicted Conversation, Thant Myint-U talks about his new book Peacemaker: U Thant, the United Nations and the Untold Story of the 1960s. It tells the story of his grandfather U Thant, the Burmese schoolteacher turned UN Secretary-General who guided the United Nations through some of the most dangerous crises of the 1960s, yet is now woefully forgotten or badly misremembered. Thant explains: U Thant's forgotten role as UN Secretary-General during the great crises of the 1960s His sociability, humour, directness, and moral imagination How Buddhism shaped U Thant's approach to crisis How newly independent post-colonial states tried to remake the world order Burma/Myanmar after empire: colonial destruction, weak institutions, and postcolonial state-building The Non-Aligned Movement: Afro-Asian internationalism beyond the US–Soviet Cold War Congo, Katanga and sovereignty: U Thant's defence of postcolonial borders against neo-imperial fragmentation The Cuban Missile Crisis: U Thant's overlooked role in helping Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro de-escalate Vietnam and the lost peace channel: U Thant's ignored 1964 attempt to open talks with Ho Chi Minh The Six-Day War and the UN-Israel rupture: UNEF, Nasser, Israel, and the myth that the UN abandoned Israel U Thant's late one-world vision, the decline of Bandung idealism, and the lost promise of postcolonial internationalism Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Visit Thant's website: thantmyintu.com Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

The Pirates are frustration and excitement at once. Bob was at the first day of training camp. Bob noticed how quick the Steelers ran their practice was a fast pace and they don't waste any time. Charlie Batch is adamant the Steelers are not going to keep four quarterbacks. Pat Bostick would be shocked if the Steelers keep four quarterbacks. Gerry Dulac said in the Steelers situation, why wouldn't you keep four?
Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bob was at the first day of training camp. Bob noticed how quick the Steelers ran their practice was a fast pace and they don't waste any time.

In Jacob: Conflicted Twin, Aggrieved Patriarch (Sheffield Phoenix Press, 2025), George Savran brings his narrative interpretive approach to look closely at Jacob's shifting identity. Jacob is indelibly linked to his brother Esau in the Genesis narrative, and their complex relationship as twins foregrounds this problematic connection. Jacob's lineage is examined-he differs noticeably from his ancestors and his offspring in the complexity of his changing character. At times he is a "simple man" at the mercy of the demands of others; elsewhere he is a devious trickster eager to use his wits to achieve personal success. His search for a coherent identity, as it unfolds in this study, leads to his emergence as the patriarch of his family, compelled to make peace with his brother and his sons in the midst of ongoing conflict. This study brings out how Jacob's mature identity is clarified further by his reactions to three unusual and unexpected encounters which shed light on his ability to recalibrate his self-understanding. The first is his struggle with the man/angel at the Jabbok, where he receives a blessing with the name Israel, and comes to realize that his relationship to God is more complicated (and less predictable) than he had previously thought. An additional insight comes the following day during his reunion with Esau, as he learns to appreciate him in a new way and compares beholding his face to "seeing the face of God". This is a remarkable admission by a brother who thought only the worst of his twin. Jacob's rethinking his own self-importance emerges later in the Joseph story, when he is compelled to realizes that his insistence on his personal concerns will lead to the dissolution of his family. Savran's interpretation of these reactions underscores their significance in Jacob's development, revealing a character of depth and resilience and giving new meaning to his role as the avatar of Israel.

In Jacob: Conflicted Twin, Aggrieved Patriarch (Sheffield Phoenix Press, 2025), George Savran brings his narrative interpretive approach to look closely at Jacob's shifting identity. Jacob is indelibly linked to his brother Esau in the Genesis narrative, and their complex relationship as twins foregrounds this problematic connection. Jacob's lineage is examined-he differs noticeably from his ancestors and his offspring in the complexity of his changing character. At times he is a "simple man" at the mercy of the demands of others; elsewhere he is a devious trickster eager to use his wits to achieve personal success.

Noam Segal is a longtime research leader across Airbnb, Meta, Twitter, Zapier, Intercom, and Figma, a certified coach, AI builder, and my community research lead. Together, we run the annual Tech Worker Sentiment Survey, now in its second year and one of the largest of its kind: a quantitative study of how people in tech actually feel about their jobs, AI, burnout, and the future of their careers. This year's survey captured responses from thousands of workers across product, engineering, design, research, marketing, data, and sales, and the results are striking.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has split the tech workforce almost exactly in half—one half that's thriving, another that's shaken2. The four emotional archetypes defining tech workers right now (the Energized, the Conflicted, the Disoriented, and the Resentful)3. Why burnout has jumped an alarming 11 points in a single year4. Why nobody in tech would recommend their job to someone entering the industry today5. The #1 fear in tech right now (it's not job loss to AI)6. Why managers are the single biggest lever for employee well-being7.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas sweats his way through a personally revealing exchange with Quinn Slobodian, Professor of International History at Boston University and the author of Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right. Quinn explains: Friedrich Hayek's “knowledge problem” and his defence of markets over central planning. Hayek's later theory of cultural evolution, inherited institutions, and the limits of universal market society. The split between “cultural Austrians” at George Mason University and “racial Austrians” around the Mises Institute. Murray Rothbard's move from courting anti-war hippies to building alliances with paleoconservatives and racial nationalists. Hans-Hermann Hoppe, anarcho-capitalism, secession, and racially homogeneous private communities. The Bell Curve, Charles Murray, IQ research, and the politics of scientific claims about race and inequality. The difference between ideas that are empirically false and ideas rejected because they are morally disturbing. The post-Cold War transformation of neoliberal enemies from communism to environmentalism, affirmative action, feminism, and welfare. The divide between neoconservatives and paleoconservatives over US foreign policy, nationalism, and the Iraq War. Whether Hayek's Bastards reveals a major genealogy of the modern Far Right—or exaggerates the influence of a provocative fringe.

As the Middle East wakes up to an unnerving new normal following the signing of the M.O.U., Aimen and Thomas turn their attention to something truly cutting edge: the AI Arms Race that is rapidly transforming the Gulf into the front lines of a truly global U.S.-China confrontation. Aimen and Thomas discuss: Iran's drone attacks on Gulf data centres. AI in missile defence and military targeting. The physical infrastructure behind cloud computing. Cheap Gulf energy and rapid data-centre construction. The UAE–Saudi competition for AI leadership. Sheikh Tahnoon, G42 and MGX. Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN strategy. The US–China global AI rivalry. Israel's cybersecurity and military-AI role. Whether AI-generated art can be genuinely creative.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Yeganeh Torbati, the Iran correspondent for the New York Times, discusses her excellent new book Stolen Revolution: Betrayal and Hope in Modern Iran. Yeganeh explains how: The 1979 revolution promised justice but created clerical authoritarianism. Islamic law was subordinated to preservation of the supreme leader. Institutions created to help the poor became engines of economic corruption. The IRGC became a military-economic oligarchy. Khatami-era reformism failed by refusing to challenge the constitutional source of authoritarian power. Ahmadinejad promised to overthrow corrupt elites but merely installed new ones. Rouhani promised economic normalization but enabled even greater corruption. The destruction of all sources of organized opposition left protesters exposed to overwhelming violence. Foreign powers encouraged expectations they did not possess the strategy or commitment to fulfil. Iranian society continues to resist socially and culturally, making the future unstable rather than settled.

In this Conflicted Conversation, George Osborn draws on his excellent new book Power Play: Video Games, Politics and the Battle for Global Influence to reveal the hidden political power of video games. Once dismissed as a niche hobby, gaming has become one of the largest social environments ever created: a vast digital third space where billions of people form identities, build communities, and increasingly encounter politics — often aligned with authoritarian agendas. George explains: The history of video games: from arcades to global digital networks How gaming helped drive the modern technology revolution Why video games became the ‘third spaces' of the internet age Steam, online gaming, and the rise of digital communities How China controls and regulates gaming culture Saudi Arabia's investment strategy in gaming and esports Russia, information warfare, and influence operations in gaming Gamergate and the politicisation of gaming communities Steve Bannon, online culture, and the rise of populist politics Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find George on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/georgeosborn.bsky.social And on Instagram: www.instagram.com/george_e_osborn And his Newsletter: www.videogamesindustrymemo.com Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

In the wake of the recently published Memorandum of Understanding 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 Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Elizabeth Tsurkov returns for another Conflicted Conversation. This time, the conversation turns to Israel after October 7th. Elizabeth traces her own political journey from the Israeli right to a hard-won humanism, then explains how Israel's old security doctrine collapsed — and why the new one may lead not to safety, but to permanent war. Elizabeth and Thomas discuss: Israel's security doctrine after 7 October Israel's shift from deterrence to pre-emption Why deterrence without a political endgame failed Gaza, Hamas and the limits of military victory Hezbollah, Lebanon and Israel's buffer-zone strategy Israel's new "buffer zone" security perimeter Iran's missile threat and Israel's war with Tehran The Abraham Accords, IMEC and bypassing Palestine Why real Israeli fears may be producing the wrong answers Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Elizabeth's personal website: https://elizabeth-tsurkov.net/en/ Find Elizabeth on X: https://x.com/LizHurra Find Elizabeth on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-tsurkov-79491b15/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Aimen returns to bring us up to date on all the latest manoeuvrings in the Middle East. Aimen and Thomas discuss: Trump's chaotic, micromanaged Iran diplomacy and reliance on inexperienced “real estate” advisers. Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, Turkey, and Egypt as flawed or compromised mediators with “skin in the game.” Why Aimen thinks Switzerland would be the proper neutral US–Iran mediator. Oman's tilt toward Iran amid assumptions of American decline and future Iranian regional weight. The UAE–Saudi split over Iran: Emirati hawkishness versus Saudi caution and strategic bruising. Saudi resentment over Yemen, Houthi attacks, Israel's freer hand, and lack of US security guarantees. Israel, Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Iran: efforts to decouple the Lebanon front from the US–Iran track Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.
