About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of a new MOU between the US and Iran on regional peace and stability.

President Donald Trump said that a two-page memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed between the US and the Islamic Republic of Iran that will end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz. But will this deal bring about a lasting peace in the region, or has peace just become another five-letter word? FDD Senior Fellow David Daoud and Bill Roggio speculate on what will become of the Middle East and America’s influence in the region as this very thin MOU moves forward.
