The Council on Foreign Relations and Chatham House have echoed criticisms of the Iran deal, with the latter mockingly referring to it as the "Memorandum of Lack of Understanding." Analysts suggest Trump has lost a "war of choice" and handed Iran the ability to hold the global economy hostage via the Strait of Hormuz. Susan Rice continues to advocate for a return to traditional diplomacy, despite her own history with the region's conflicts.

### Cyber Attack Attribution, Underground Malware Markets

- **Episode:** [679: Sir Reeshmeister Presents](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/679-sir-reeshmeister-presents.md)
- **Published:** 2014-12-18

Expert analysis from Carolyn Balan of Chatham House suggests that attributing the Sony hack to North Korea is problematic due to the thriving underground market for attack codes. The discussion highlights how automated toolkits and vulnerabilities are bought and sold by hacktivists, corporate spies, and disgruntled employees. This makes definitive state attribution difficult as the same code can be reused by various actors for fun, profit, or political purposes.
