Pepe Escobar | The MOU 'Coma' Was Fake-Iran, Oman and Pakistan’s SECRET Gulf Plan | July 1, 2026

Description:
Sources on Transition Protocol claim that Iran and Oman have already moved toward controlling the Strait of Hormuz — the world’s most important oil chokepoint — with Pakistan and China allegedly backing a broader post-U.S. Gulf security architecture. 

In this episode, Zulfiqar Ali and Pepe Escobar examine whether the U.S.–Iran MOU is really dead, whether Trump is being pushed back to the table, and why the next phase may depend on frozen Iranian funds, Khamenei’s funeral timeline, and the Saudi–Pakistan defense track. 

This is a source-driven geopolitical breakdown. Public reporting has already confirmed major pieces of the wider context: the U.S.–Iran MOU, Pakistan/Qatar mediation, Hormuz reopening discussions, Oman–Iran sovereignty talks, UAE/Qatar frozen-funds movement, and debate inside Team Trump. The strongest claims are clearly framed as developing or source-based where independent confirmation is not yet available.

Description:
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Let's Talk Geopolitics to break down the latest U.S. military strikes on Iran and explain why this conflict is far from over. While many politicians and media outlets are talking about de-escalation, Larry argues that the recent attacks are only the beginning of a much larger geopolitical confrontation.

In this livestream, we discuss what the latest U.S. strikes actually accomplished, how Iran is likely to respond, the growing risk of a wider regional war, and why the next phase of this conflict could reshape the balance of power across the Middle East. We also examine the roles of Israel, China, Russia, and the broader implications for global energy markets, the U.S. economy, and the future of American foreign policy.
