Larry Johnson | Russian Arms In, Diplomats Out? Kill Iran's Leaders — Who Stops 31 Commanders? | Transition Protocol | Oct. 24, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube, sonar21.com



Description: 

Netanyahu says Iran's leaders must go. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson explains Iran's answer: a "dead man's switch" that lets 31 regional commanders fire at pre-selected targets on their own — and why Russian planes, he says, are flying diplomats out.

Timeline:
00:04:21 Russian arms in, diplomats out? What Johnson says the Russian flights signal — and what our host's Tehran sources say landed after Lavrov left (10:15).

00:05:09 The dead man's switch: "In the event of a decapitation strike… The 31 regional commanders of the IRGC have been authorized unilaterally to initiate strikes on their own."

00:11:44 The window: "as early tonight… tomorrow… if it does not happen by Sunday… highly unlikely."

00:24:43 The aim: Netanyahu says Trump "has signed off" on removing Iran's leadership. Johnson: "that I doubt."

Laith Marouf & Pete Gregson | Zionism and Eugenics: Race, Chosenness and the Green Party Debate | Oct. 24, 2026

Description: 

Laith Marouf and Pete Gregson join Deep Dive Perspective to debate Zionism and eugenics, from race science and chosenness to the Green Party's "Zionism is racism" motion, the IHRA definition, and the one-state solution.

This episode examines the central claim raised by the guests: that Zionism should be understood not only as racism but, in Marouf's words, as Jewish supremacy. The discussion traces how the guests connect modern Zionism to the history of race science, colonialism, and eugenics in Europe, the US, and Mandate Palestine. According to the discussion, Zionist thinkers fused ideas of chosenness with eugenic ideology, with figures such as Arthur Ruppin and Rabbi Max Reischler discussed as examples.

MintPress News | Iran Declare ‘War Without Limits’ On Israel, Unveil “Shocking” Weapons, As Casualties Mount | Oct. 23, 2026

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down the explosive developments shaking the region, with Israeli elections only days away.

Tehran has officially declared a doctrine of “war without limits,” with the IRGC announcing the deployment of the “Father of All Bombs” (FOAB) to target US and Zionist entity assets in reaction to Trump’s threats to use the Mother Of All Bombs (MOAB). Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv regime is conducting mock raids on Iran, signaling imminent war preparations. In the Levant, the Zionist entity is deepening its illegal occupation of southern Syria, committing horrific war crimes, including the execution of a man with disabilities.

Plus, we cover the stunning strikes by Ansar Allah in Yemen, who successfully blasted the Saudi Defence Ministry in Riyadh, crippled ARAMCO facilities, and struck multiple airports. Finally, we analyze the alleged US strike on southern Iran and Tehran’s massive missile wave response in the Strait of Hormuz.

Multiple fronts have ignited as West Asia is on the edge of an imminent all-out regional war, and the corporate media is downplaying the sheer scale of the escalation.

Stand with independent watchdog journalism.

The New Atlas | US preparing for more strikes on Iran: using "Leave it to Bibi" to pass the blame | Oct. 22, 2026

Source: The New Atlas youtube



Description:
- The Western media is once again attempting to sell the notion that Israel, not the US, is pushing for war with Iran and bringing a "reluctant" US along unwillingly;

- This is a deliberate policy published in papers as early as 2009 discussing the use of US proxy Israel to start a war with Iran and ultimately absorb most of the blame and retaliation for doing so;

- The US has repeatedly used this strategy under the previous Biden and now Trump administrations - and even repeatedly under the current Trump administration;

- The notion the US is planning strikes on Iran around "elections" is betrayed by the material reality elections do not effect US foreign policy and especially not policy regarding Iran - as continuity of agenda has continued against Iran for 26 straight years regardless of who controlled Congress or sat in the White House;

- And no, just because Israel is a proxy of the US doesn't mean it is not just as guilty as the US itself for the crimes its government, military, intelligence services, and their civilian supporters commit as proxies of US power;
