Larry Johnson | US 10x Surge in THAAD & PAC-3 Ammo; Yemeni Rockets Hit Saudi Command | Aug. 11, 2026

Source: Dialogue Works youtube, Sonar21.com



Description:
On Dialogue Works, Larry Johnson digs into a reported US push to massively expand THAAD and PAC-3 interceptor stocks—what a roughly tenfold ammo surge says about expected threat volume, production bottlenecks, and how thin Western air-defense magazines already are.

He pairs that industrial signal with battlefield news from the Arabian Peninsula: Yemeni rockets striking Saudi command infrastructure, and what that implies for Riyadh’s security perimeter and for any coalition still treating missile defense as a clean technological fix.

Johnson’s frame is practical rather than theatrical: interceptor economics, salvo math, and the gap between stockpiles on paper and sustained high-intensity conflict. Escalation risk sits in the logistics, not only in the headlines.

Larry Johnson | BREAKING: Where Was Mojtaba Khamenei? Iran's UNSEEN Leader Made 1st Move- Who Signed Iran's Decree?? | Aug. 10, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , , , , Source: Transition Protocol youtube, Sonar21.com



Iran replaced the secretary of its Supreme National Security Council last night — by decree of a Supreme Leader the world has not laid eyes on since the strike that killed his father in February. Every newsroom carried the decree. None of them could tell you who signed it.

Transition Protocol has been told by a source close to him that Mojtaba Khamenei has largely recovered, that the change at the top of Iran's security apparatus was his own decision, and that Iran's answer to Washington is being carried to Islamabad this week. We report that as what it is: single-source and unconfirmed. We are telling you who told us and what they are in a position to know, and you can weigh it.

In this briefing, Larry Johnson and Zulfiqar Ali cover why Western analysts are misreading the elevation of Mohsen Rezaei as the arrival of a hardliner; what Iran's updated ten points now demand, including four names that were not in the April version; why six strikes on shipping in eight days have drawn no American retaliation; what the emerging Oman arrangement means for transit permission, tolls and the currency they are paid in; why Saudi Arabia cannot win the exchange it is now in with Yemen; and why Japan's refineries — not the barrel count — are the hidden mechanism behind the global diesel and jet-fuel shortage.

Analysis by Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst and former Deputy Director of the US State Department's Office of Counterterrorism, with Zulfiqar Ali. Hosted by Transition Protocol.

Larry Johnson | Exposes Iran's Trump Card: Netanyahu Told the US NO, Our Sources Say the NUCLEAR Brake Is OFF | July 27, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , , , , , Source: Transition Protocol youtube, Sonar21.com



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.

Pepe Escobar & Larry Johnson | Exposes:Why the IRAN Bombing Stopped on Night 14 as USA is blind-CHINA'S MASTER PLAN | Transition Protocol | July 25, 2026

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.

Larry Johnson | Zero Exits: Houthis Blockade Saudi Arabia-Iran’s Secret Letter to Pakistan | July 20, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , , , Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
BREAKING (July 20, 2026): For the first time, both of the Middle East’s major oil-export routes are closing at once — the Iran-backed Houthis have declared a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia while the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut. As U.S. forces take casualties in Jordan and Washington’s approval collapses, Transition Protocol’s Zulfiqar Ali and former CIA analyst Larry Johnson break down what the headlines miss: a personal letter now in Islamabad from Iran’s new power center, and why the next move in this war belongs to Pakistan and China — not Washington or Tehran.

In this episode: the Saudi oil blockade and the two-chokepoint squeeze; confirmed American deaths at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base; Iran’s hardened “no concessions” posture; the China-scripted role of Pakistan; and what all of it means for oil prices at your pump. Confirmed events are labeled as such; source-based reporting is clearly tagged as developing.
