Is the Iran-US MoU dead—or working exactly as intended? | Eye for Iran | EP 111 |
Trump says the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is dead.But what if that's the wrong question?
Just weeks after Washington and Tehran reached an agreement, commercial vessels are under attack, the Strait of Hormuz is back in crisis and both sides are exchanging strikes.
Did the Iran-US MoU fail—or was it never designed to deliver peace in the first place? What if it was built to manage conflict instead?
This week on Eye for Iran, Negar Mojtahedi is joined by leading experts to examine whether we've misunderstood the Iran-US MoU from the very beginning—and what the next phase of the conflict could look like.
The panel also discusses:
• Why Iran targeted commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz
• Whether the IRGC is acting independently—or strategically
• Did Ali Khamenei's death mark the beginning of the end of Velayat-e Faqih?
• Is political Islam entering a new era?
• Why Khamenei's funeral dominated global headlines while the deaths of tens of thousands of Iranians received far less attention.
Guests
• Jonathan Sayeh – Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD)
• Arash Azizi – Historian and contributing writer, The Atlantic
• Fatima Al-Asrar – Washington Center for Yemeni Studies
• Itai Reuveni – NGO Monitor
• Hussein Aboubakr Mansour– JINSA Fellow and author of After the Ayatollah
• Khosro Isfahani – National Union for Democracy in Iran
