Description:

What has been a catastrophe for the Pentagon is set to get a lot worse and the former UN Weapons Inspector and US Marine Corps Intelligence Officer breaks it all down.
Description: The Duran: Episode 2581 — New ceasefire proposal to Putin; Zelensky heading to DC to meet Trump; Putin already rejected this deal at SPIEF; drone strikes meant to pressure Russia; neutral mediator narrative; Rubio admits US is backing Ukraine; Putin's Navy Day speech; Trump risks losing two wars at once.
Description:
The two wars just merged. Ukraine has struck Iranian vessels in the Caspian Sea — an Iranian sailor is dead, and Tehran says the attack “cannot go unanswered.” Twenty-four hours later, Zelensky and Netanyahu both arrive at Trump's White House.
In this episode, Sabrina Salvati (Sabby Sabs) joins Zulfiqar Ali to break down the Caspian strike, the Strait of Hormuz shutdown, the Red Sea escalation, and the hidden costs of the US–Iran war — plus what sources tell Transition Protocol about the biggest question of all: whether Iran's new Supreme Leader still considers himself bound by his father's nuclear fatwa.
Sabrina Salvati is the host of Sabby Sabs, one of the fastest-growing independent political channels in the US, and joins Transition Protocol every Monday at 5:30 PM Eastern.
Description:
Transition Protocol sources report a development that changes the entire Iran nuclear question:
Grand Ayatollah Sistani has reportedly ruled that the late Ayatollah Khamenei's fatwa against nuclear weapons is no longer valid — and Mojtaba Khamenei has ordered Iran's weapons capability developed.
(Source reporting; not independently verified.) It comes in the same 24 hours that Israeli media confirmed President Trump has DEMANDED Israeli withdrawals and Prime Minister Netanyahu told his cabinet he will say NO — one day before their White House showdown.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson breaks down Iran's four cards: 19+ US radars and satellite systems destroyed across Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain; critical US shortages of PAC-3, THAAD and precision-strike missiles; 25% of the world's sour crude off the market and US refineries that cannot switch; and the nuclear threshold itself. Plus: the Islamabad MOU ultimatum — implement paragraph one now, or nothing moves.

Join James for this contemplative exploration of the meaning and value of the written word.

AMERICA IS BLIND: Why the Iran Bombing Stopped on Night 14
For the first time in fourteen nights, American bombs did not fall on Iran. In this emergency Saturday session, Larry Johnson reports that the reason is not diplomacy but capability: the ground-based radars across Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have been destroyed, the United States is now flying P-8 Poseidons to substitute for fixed sensors, and the command-and-control traffic that must precede a mass air campaign is not moving between Central Command at MacDill and the air operations centre now running out of Shaw Air Force Base.
Zulfiqar Ali reports that the second reason sits in Beijing and Islamabad — after three Trump–Asim Munir calls in a single week, each producing an off-ramp Washington then discarded, the mediation channel has been deliberately switched off.
Pepe Escobar joins from the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation ministerial in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, where Araghchi, Lavrov, Wang Yi and Ishaq Dar sat at the same table this week.
He explains what Wang Yi’s four-point proposal actually means — public Chinese endorsement of Pakistani mediation, a demand that Washington return to the memorandum rather than renegotiate it, and an invitation to the Gulf states to reconsider the American security umbrella.
The three also cover the Houthi strikes on Saudi Aramco facilities at Jazan and Yanbu, why Yanbu appears to have been deliberately spared, Pakistan’s refusal to fight Riyadh’s war in Yemen, the global diesel and jet fuel shortage behind the oil market, and what a permanently altered West Asian security map looks like.

James Tunney, LLM, is an Irish barrister who has lectured on legal matters throughout the world. He is a poet, a scholar, and author of The Mystery of the Trapped Light: Mystical Thoughts in the Dark Age of Scientism plus The Mystical Accord: Sutras to Suit Our Times, Lines for Spiritual Evolution. His paintings have been shown in galleries in Scandinavia and London.
Here he describes the history of the transhumanist movement, with a particular focus on its development in the 1920s – and a view to understanding both proponents and critics. On the positive side, the movement seeks to enhance the human lifespan and human capacities. On the negative side it sometimes treats humans as machines, perhaps even inferior to machines, or perhaps as cogs in a greater machine – denying conscious sovereignty and spirituality.
