Sudan’s civil war has become a regional proxy struggle, with the UAE, Egypt, Iran, Turkey and other powers backing rival armed camps as the country fragments under the pressure of war.

Notas del episodio
In this week’s Conflicted Conversation, UCL associate professor Philip Cunliffe makes a provocative case: far from being polar opposites, global Islamism and American unipolarity were born of the same globalised order. But what happens when that order starts to fall apart? And is today’s rising New Left inadvertently fighting to save the liberal-imperial system it says it wants to destroy?
For deeper dives and world-class Q&As with Aimen Dean, join the CONFLICTED COMMUNITY here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm
Philip and Thomas discuss:
- How U.S. unipolarity and globalisation reshaped the world after the Cold War
- Why Cunliffe thinks ‘global Islam’ is a distinctly modern political phenomenon
- How early state-seeking Islamism gave way to transnational Islamism and jihadism
- Why neoliberal globalisation weakened state sovereignty and boosted Islamist networks
- The strange overlap between liberal humanitarianism and jihadist causes
- How the CIA, Afghanistan and Syria blurred the line between ally and enemy
- Why the new American Left could revive the logic of liberal interventionism over Israel
- What comes after the decline of American empire: sovereign nation-states or rival new blocs?

Notas del episodio
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.

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

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

Notas del episodio
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

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

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

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

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas meets Laura Spinney, author of Proto: How One Language Went Global, the story of the Proto-Indo-European language and its descendants, which are spoken today by half of humanity.
Laura explains:
- How, where, and among whom Proto-Indo-European emerged
- How Indo-European split into English, Hindi, Persian, Russian, Greek, Latin-derived Romance languages, Celtic, Germanic, Baltic and Slavic tongues
- How linguists reconstruct an unwritten prehistoric language through sound laws, comparative vocabulary and ancient texts
- Why ancient DNA has transformed the debate over Indo-European origins by restoring migration to the centre of the story
- Who the Yamnaya were, and how mobile pastoralists north of the Black Sea spread language through cattle, wagons, dairy and steppe mobility
- How a small number of steppe migrants may have transformed Europe’s languages through disease, prestige, violence, intermarriage and social networks
- Why Tocharian, Sanskrit and Persian reveal extraordinary Indo-European journeys from the Pontic-Caspian steppe to China, India and Iran
- How ‘Aryan’ began as a real Indo-Iranian self-description before being distorted by racial nationalism and Nazi pseudoscience

The MoU with Iran has broken down, war has returned to the Middle East, and so Aimen walks us through the events since the war re-ignited on 7th July.
More than anything, the fighting now focuses on the Strait of Hormuz. In Iran’s eyes, it has won control of the Strait as a spoil of war. In the rest of the world’s eyes, freedom of navigation through the Strait remains a cast-iron principle of international law.
Aimen and Thomas discuss:
- Why the US–Iran MoU collapsed over control of the Strait of Hormuz
- Iran’s attacks on Gulf shipping and the return of the US naval blockade
- US strikes on Bandar Abbas and Iran’s coastal military infrastructure
- GCC retaliation: Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and Jordan confront Iran
- Trump assassination threats and divisions inside the US administration
- Saudi Arabia’s internal debate over Iran and renewed war with the Houthis
- Houthi threats to close Bab al-Mandab and attack Saudi infrastructure
- Oman, NATO and Israel’s roles in the widening Iran war
