Description:
Pepe Escobar says Iran may strike first if its intelligence sees an attack coming, a counterpunch before the punch, in a possible window after Shenzhen in late November or early December.
Zulfiqar Ali says a source at an Iranian nuclear site puts the work hours away, not days, and that no bomb order has been reported. Escobar says Trump agreed to free $8 billion and lift the blockade, and that Rubio and Hegseth sank Qatar's proposal about an hour later. He expects Xi to press Trump at Shenzhen on Hormuz and sanctions. The nuclear timing is Ali's source. The $8 billion figure is Escobar's account.
