How does the optional strike from Warning Sirens interact with Thoughts Betrayed? On another level of abstraction: what is a strike card?
Warning Sirens
Master: out-of-turn.
Play on a minion targeted by a action to give that minion +1 intercept. Alternatively, play on a minion in combat. That minion gets an optional strike: dodge this round.
Thoughts Betrayed
Only usable before range is determined on the first round.
Dominate Opposing minion takes 1 additional damage in the first round of combat during normal strike resolution.
Dominate Opposing minion cannot play any strike cards for the duration of this combat.
(many thanks in advance)

TB prevents the opposing minion playing cards (card text). M:OOTs are played by Methuselahs only, not minions.

Convictions are put in play during the untap phase (see details in the Imbued Rules appendix); master cards are played by Methuselahs; minion cards are played by the minions (vampires and allies) the Methuselahs control;

Moot, for this question. I don't recall a specific description of it.
A more relevant card for these purposes might be Mythic Form or Liquefy the Mortal Coil, or similar minion-card-based strike granters.

A card that provides a strike and is used for this effect.
For instance, Sideslip used at [cel] is a strike card ("Strike: ..."). Sideslip used at [CEL] isn't.
Name: Sideslip
Cardtype: Combat
Discipline: Celerity
[cel] Strike: dodge.
[CEL] Prevent 1 damage. A vampire can play only one Sideslip at superior each round.
