Laith Marouf | The Empire Is Collapsing! Iran, Yemen & Israel Are Changing the Middle East | Nov. 6, 2026

Labels , , , , , , Source: Carl Zha youtube, FreePalestine.video



Description: 
The US-led order in the Middle East is facing one of its biggest challenges yet. Iran refuses to surrender, Yemen continues to resist Saudi-backed forces, and Israel's war is creating growing political and economic consequences across the Western world.

In this explosive episode of Silk and Steel, Carl Zha welcomes back Laith Marouf, journalist and representative of Free Palestine TV, for an in-depth discussion about the changing balance of power in West Asia.

Why has Saudi Arabia renewed its military campaign in Yemen? Can the United States and Israel actually defeat Iran? And is Washington's unconditional support for Israel undermining the foundations of American power?

Laith Marouf offers his perspective on the battlefield developments in Yemen, the resilience of Iran, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and the growing challenge to the US-led regional security system.

They break down the Wall Street Journal reports on JD Vance reaching out to Iranian hardliners, the Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani delegation to Tehran, Lavrov's visit, and why Iran refuses to surrender the Strait of Hormuz, its allies, or uranium enrichment.

Description: 
With about 77% of the Knesset vote counted, Nima Alkhorshid says Netanyahu's bloc is near 54 seats and the other bloc near 49, both short of 61, and Elijah Magnier says neither can form a government on its own. Nima cites a Wall Street Journal report that the United States warned Gulf Arab states to prepare for a brief, intense military campaign against Iran after the midterms, and Magnier says more bombing would not bring Iran to the table.

Description: 
Nima Alkhorshid says Asim Munir asked Iran to host a Tehran summit of the Mecca defense pact because of the war in Yemen, and that Yemen announced ballistic-missile hits on Saudi military aircraft at Abha and Khamis Mushait and on the Ministry of Defense in Riyadh. Larry Wilkerson says Israel is the pact's main problem, that Saudi Arabia is being beaten and is begging Iran for help, and that a reported offer of $1 billion to Ansarallah for a ceasefire was rejected.

Robert Inlakesh | Israeli soldiers blasted as the US vows Iran strikes within 96 hours, and Yemen targets Saudi pipelines | Oct. 26, 2026

Labels , , , , , , Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
Less than 24 hours from Israeli election day, fighter jets are in the skies. Robert Inlakesh investigates the killing of two Israeli soldiers near the Yehuda Junction, in Al-Khalil (Hebron), which he says triggered a pre-election operation that Netanyahu threatened could grow larger than anything since 1967. 

He argues the corporate media is silent on Gulf oil infrastructure, and says Ansarallah is dismantling Saudi oil assets, including pipelines, while those raids are framed as self-defense and the Iran-Yemen strikes as terrorism. The episode also covers a reported US vow to strike Iran within 96 hours.

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

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.

Larry Johnson | Lavrov Lands in Tehran, MBS Is on His Own, Trump Is Out of Options,Hegseth Summoned Generals | Transition Protocol | Oct. 20, 2026

Labels , , , , , , ,

Description:
Trump said Russia was doing “very little, if anything” to help Iran. Today Sergey Lavrov sat beside Abbas Araghchi in Tehran. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson asks whether that was a coincidence — and host Zulfiqar Ali’s Pakistani and Turkish contacts say the leader who is really on his own is MBS.

— 09:29 Lavrov in Tehran: “You think that was just a coincidence?”
— 19:55 MBS on his own: why Pakistan and Turkey have cut their support, per our host’s contacts — and China’s position.— 30:48 “There are no good military options”: Trump’s only way out, according to Larry Johnson.

What you’ll learn: why Lavrov’s visit contradicts Trump’s claim about Russia · why Pakistan’s border “closure” is two gates, not the border · what our host’s sources say about MBS, Pakistan, Turkey and China · why Iran wants the Islamabad MOU, not the JCPOA · what Johnson expects before the 3 November election.

Sourcing note: The reports on Pakistan’s and Turkey’s support for MBS, on China’s position, on sea traffic through Gwadar and on US helicopters off Pakistan’s coast are our host’s own sourcing and cannot be independently verified. Johnson’s report of a Quantico meeting of senior officers on 20 October had not been publicly reported at the time of publishing. 

Public record: Lavrov met Araghchi in Tehran on 19 October and said Russia is committed to its 20-year strategic partnership with Iran; Pakistan suspended trade at the Taftan and Gabd crossings (18 October; some reports say four crossings) and Iran’s foreign ministry cited “technical issues”; Trump said on 16 October that “Israel’s been very helpful to Saudi Arabia”; IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Zarifi was killed in Saravan on 24 September; Pakistan’s information ministry on 18 October called claims that the US Navy operates from Pakistani territory against Iran “baseless”. 

Larry Wilkerson | Iran's 'Father of Missiles' Responds to Trump's MOAB Threat | Oct. 19, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , Source: Dialogue Works youtube



Description: 
Nima Alkhorshid reads Iran's foreign minister answering Donald Trump's endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu and the claim they will finish the job, then an IRGC brigadier general who said a MOAB strike on Iran would be answered with a father of missiles Iran has not used yet. Larry Wilkerson calls that talk a path toward another round of war, likelier after the November 3 election than before it, and says Egypt's President Sisi would be unwise to send troops to Yemen after Tehran warned of consequences.

Pepe Escobar | Pakistan Navy warns off US Black Hawks; Iran locks 400 targets, porous border, open routes | Transition Protocol | Oct. 18, 2026

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



Description:
Pakistani military sources say Pakistani naval aircraft warned US helicopters away from the coast off Karachi. The same weekend, trade across the Iran–Pakistan land border crossings was halted — and our host’s sources say Iran has 400 targets locked, many of them in Israel. Zulfiqar Ali brings both accounts, checked in Islamabad and Tehran; Pepe Escobar, from Bangkok after midnight, brings the dollar-bypass talks the closure interrupted — and the one country whose cargo still crosses.

— 07:57 The Black Hawk encounter, per Pakistani military sources.
— 16:30 Except China: the cargo that still crosses, per our host’s sources.
— 27:17 Iran’s 400 locked targets: the warning our host’s sources relayed.

What you’ll learn: why Pakistan and Iran suspended trade at their border, and what officials on both sides say it was for · whether Washington pressured Islamabad — and the answer our host was given · what the US Navy is doing off Pakistan’s coast · why Chinese cargo is still moving · where Iran stands on the Mecca defence pact · what Egypt and the OIC are doing about Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.

Sourcing note: The Black Hawk encounter, the Chinese-cargo exemption, the saboteur arrests and the position of US naval assets are our host’s own sourcing from Pakistani military, naval and coastal officials and cannot be independently verified; we found no public report of the encounter. “3 nautical miles” is the distance as reported to our host; Pakistan’s territorial sea extends 12 nautical miles, and the host says the helicopters did not enter Pakistani territory. 

A Pakistani brigadier told our host the detained saboteurs were financed by the UAE; that is one officer’s allegation and has not been independently verified. The 3,000-truck figure and its banking cause are Pepe Escobar’s information. 

Public record: Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce suspended trade through the Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan crossings (memo of 16 October, announced 17 October); Pakistani officials cited security, counterterrorism and smuggling and said the border is likely to reopen soon; Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman called the closure temporary and cited “technical issues”; more than 2,000 containers were reported stranded at Gabd-Rimdan, while passenger traffic continued at Gabd-Rimdan. 

The 400 locked targets are our host’s sourcing and cannot be independently verified. The Iran–Pakistan central bank meeting is Escobar’s reporting; the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings ran in Bangkok on 12–18 October. Iran’s interest in the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement is contested: our host’s sources say Iran has expressed interest; Escobar says it is not being discussed in Tehran; Iran’s foreign ministry said in August it had received no formal invitation.
