Pepe Escobar | BREAKING-PEPE : Why Iran US Signing Moves to VERSAILLES -Is US–Iran Signing Vanishing? | June 19, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
The US–Iran signing was supposed to happen in Geneva. Instead it reportedly moved to Versailles overnight — and according to sources cited in this episode, the reason was a credible assassination threat against Iran's delegation.

Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break down what their sources at the table are saying about the Iran–US MOU, the Strait of Hormuz red line, Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon, and a reported Monday deadline that could trigger Iranian retaliation within 72 hours.

In this special edition of Transition Protocol, we connect the dots between Iran's claimed “strategic victory,” the threat to close the Strait of Hormuz (and what that means for global oil prices), Iran's reported readiness to pursue a North Korea–style nuclear path, and Pakistan's elevated role as power broker — backed in the background by China and Russia. We also examine why sources describe Trump as boxed in, and what choice the White House faces this weekend.

Source note: Pepe Escobar is a veteran geopolitical analyst covering Eurasia and the multipolar world order; Zulfiqar Ali brings reporting sourced through Pakistani and Iranian channels. Some claims in this episode are source-based and developing — we flag verification status on-screen and present them as attributed reporting, not confirmed fact.

Larry C. Johnson & Pepe Escobar | Why Was the Venue Moved from Islamabad to Switzerland? Sources Warn! | June 18, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Iran and the US are set to sign a memorandum of understanding this Friday, June 19, at Bürgenstock in Switzerland — and our sources say an Israeli plot to derail it may be hanging over the ceremony. In this episode, Pepe Escobar, Zulfiqar Ali, and Larry Johnson break down the breaking intel: the alleged assassination threat against an Iranian signatory, Pakistan's blunt warning to Tel Aviv ("you'll hear directly from us"), and why the venue was moved to a secure, Qatari-owned mountain site hosted by Pakistan.

We connect the dots the headlines are missing: the hidden oil clock and Strait of Hormuz reality (it won't fully reopen for months because of mines), the 60-day, 14-point MOU, Iran's strike threats that bent Donald Trump, and the deepening China–Russia–Iran alignment behind every mediated term. We also cover JD Vance and Ghalibaf as the Friday signatories, Bennett vs. Netanyahu, the $24bn in frozen Iranian assets, and the global recession/de-dollarization stakes for your wallet.

Guests: Pepe Escobar (veteran geopolitical correspondent), Larry Johnson (former CIA analyst), hosted by Zulfiqar Ali. Some claims in this episode are source-based and developing; we flag verification status on screen. Transition Protocol is a serious, source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis channel focused on evidence-based breakdowns of global power shifts.

Description:
Iran sent the United States a secret, coded warning — and repeated it three times through Pakistan — just as the US–Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz heads to signing.

In this exclusive breakdown, Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali reveal the hidden terms behind the agreement: the ~$24 billion Washington must return, Iran's hard red line on Israel in Lebanon, and the “bilateral” retaliation doctrine now in force.

They also reveal what almost no one is reporting — that Russia's Putin and China's Xi were standing directly behind the Iran–Pakistan alignment, and why insiders believe the deal is already being sabotaged before the ink dries, with war potentially resuming after the US midterms.
