Description:
Vijay Prashad and Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol: Iran has put a 15-year freeze on its nuclear file — the concession Washington spent six months demanding — and sources inside the negotiation say Donald Trump will not take it, because accepting it would not make him the winner. Prashad reads what Oman’s Foreign Ministry has published about a temporary corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, why the nuclear file is now dormant, and a month-by-month map of how this war ends before the November 4 midterms.
They also cover the Oman–Iran corridor talks and Article 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum; UN Law of the Sea rules on the Strait of Hormuz; a tolls and surveillance regime under discussion; Pakistan’s shuttle diplomacy; why Israel has been shut out of the Iran file; and the scenario that blows it up — a sudden Israeli strike.
