The "Memorandum of Understanding [11]" signed [12] by Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is contingent on the cooperation of two entities not a party to it: Hezbollah and Israel—which continues to commit war crimes [13] in Lebanon. The provisions on Iran's nuclear program do not even recoup the progress won in Obama's nuclear deal [14] that Trump tore up in his first term. And Trump's claim when hostilities began back in February to be acting on behalf of Iranians who rose up in mass protests [15] against the regime are now completely betrayed in a "non-interference" pledge. In Episode 334 of the CounterVortex podcast [16], Bill Weinberg continues to urge support for alternative voices [17] that take a neither/nor position [18] regading MAGA-imperialism and the Islamic Republic, and again recalls the anarchist slogan [19]: Neither your war nor your peace!
