Roqe Ep. 447 - Memorandom of Undermining - Shayan Sami'i, Picasso Moin, Kiarash Kian

from Roqe · host Roqe Global Media

A new Memorandum of Understanding between the Trump administration and the Islamic Republic has ignited outrage, disappointment, and fierce debate among many Iranians around the world. Jian Ghomeshi welcomes Shayan Samii, Picasso Moin, and Kiarash Kian for a discussion about the deal, the prospect of sanctions relief and a reported $300 billion reconstruction package, and whether the agreement represents a diplomatic success - or a major setback for those hoping to see meaningful change in Iran. The panel also examines the ongoing controversy surrounding Team Melli at the FIFA World Cup, discussing whether support for Iran's national football team can be separated from the politics of the Islamic Republic and why all three guests have chosen not to cheer for Team Melli during this tournament. Plus Jian's opening essay: "WE KNOW WHERE THE $300 BILLION WON'T GO." Guests: • Shayan Samii • Picasso Moin • Kiarash Kian Host: Jian Ghomeshi Sponsored by: • Stellar Law • Quasar Homes
