Dear listener, ahead of season 3 and I promise it's coming. We wanted to record this special

episode because of recent events in Iran. You may have heard that on the 27th of November, 2020, a top nuclear scientist in Iran was assassinated by the Mossad.

And Aeman called me up and said, Thomas, we must record an episode because 2020 started with a bang, and it's now ended with a bang.

What he was referring to was the assassination of Kossum Solimani in January of this year, which episode one of season

two was all about.

And now, at the end of the year, this Iranian scientist has been assassinated by the Israelis.

But before Aeman tells us all the gruesome details, let's get some context. Hello, Amman.

Oh, hello Thomas. How are you?

I'm very well, thanks. It's been, it's been a few months, about five months I think since we last met to record one of these

episodes

indeed it's been too long I mean just get the vaccine done let's meet real life.

It's been way too long you know we're all looking forward to season three it is coming I

promise you dear listener it's coming.

But in the meantime, we have another special bonus episode

of Conflicted for you.

Although before we go straight into it,

I just want to say,

Aaman, what do you think about my lockdown hair?

Ah, well, I don't know.

Are you going back to becoming a monk?

Obviously, listeners can't see, but my hair has gotten very long during lockdown, where all these various

lockdowns...
