Pepe Escobar | BREAKING: MUNIR GETS IRAN’S GREEN LIGHT, HE Met the Man Who Threatened to Shut Off Gulf Oil | Aug. 26, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Iran has told Washington that if the United States succeeds in economically suffocating it, not a drop of oil will leave the Gulf — not from Saudi Arabia, not the UAE, not Qatar, not anywhere.

That message was carried out of Tehran this week by Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, and delivered to the acting US ambassador in Islamabad within hours of their return.

Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break down the full sequence — the Trump phone call that started it, the six-point mechanism now on the table, the Strait of Hormuz deal-breaker, and the message from Beijing that landed in the room while the talks were still running.

Also in this episode — what Iran is demanding before it returns to the table (frozen assets, sanctions relief, an end to the naval blockade); why the new US Treasury sanctions package is functionally aimed at China; the single American decision that would collapse the entire process overnight; Iran's four-step escalation ladder and the NPT exit that sits on the first rung; and why both analysts now describe this as the last chance saloon. Chapter markers below.

Pepe Escobar is a globally recognised geopolitical correspondent covering Eurasia, BRICS and the multipolar transition. Zulfiqar Ali reports from direct channels in Islamabad and Tehran.

Robert Bigelow & Brandon Fugal | Meeting of the Moguls | Bigelow Podcast Ep. 4 | Aug. 25, 2026

Source: Bigelow Podcast youtube



Description: 
Las Vegas aerospace tycoon Robert Bigelow and Utah real estate magnate Brandon Fugal have not spoken to each other since 2016, which is when they met to transfer ownership of Skinwalker Ranch from Bigelow to Fugal. 

Bigelow owned the now famous paranormal hotspot for 20 years, during which his NIDS organization, as well as investigators working for the DIA's classified effort known as AAWSAP, tried to understand the bizarre range of UFO incidents, cryptid creatures, animal mutilations, and other inexplicable phenomena. 

Fugal, who described himself as a skeptic, purchased the property in 2016 with the idea of turning it into a campground for Boy Scout gatherings, but has since changed his mind and authorized the production of the popular TV series The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

For the first time ever, the two businessmen met in Las Vegas to compare notes, discuss the history of the ranch (including aspects that have never been made public), and to evaluate how the investigation of the ranch fits into the larger context of how humanity might learn to understand its relationship with non-human intelligences.

Larry Johnson | Bessent’s “Biggest Sanctions” FAILS Iran Moves Toward Mecca Pact as Trump Begs Pak for an Off-Ramp | Aug. 24, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Iran has been formally invited to join the Mecca Agreement — the trilateral defense pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey — with enthusiastic engagement already underway between Islamabad and Tehran, according to sources detailed in this episode.

The same day, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s long-promised "maximum pressure" sanctions rollout landed with no new named targets, prompting military analyst Larry Johnson to call it "a mouse fart" instead of the "volcanic eruption" that had been advertised.

Host Zulfiqar Ali and Larry Johnson break down what it means that Bahrain has asked to join the Pakistan-Saudi military pact, why the United States is now in a structural sour-crude oil shortage, and how China’s multi-year effort to broker Saudi-Iran détente is now visibly reshaping the Persian Gulf.

Larry Johnson is a former CIA analyst and military analyst who has covered Middle East security and U.S. foreign policy for decades. Zulfiqar Ali reports directly from sources inside Pakistani political and military circles. Some claims in this episode are based on privileged source reporting and are clearly marked as developing rather than independently confirmed.

Dr. Eric Davis | Physicist Breaks Silence on Skinwalker Ranch and UFOs | THIRD EYE DROPS with Michael Phillip | Aug. 25, 2026

Source: THIRD EYE DROPS with Michael Phillip youtube



Description:
Eric Davis has spent decades working at the strange intersection of advanced physics, UFOs, intelligence programs, and high strangeness. A physicist and longtime colleague of Hal Puthoff, Davis worked with Robert Bigelow’s NIDS, investigated Skinwalker Ranch, and later became involved with the DIA’s AAWSAP program studying anomalous aerospace phenomena, UFOs and classified reverse engineering efforts.

In this conversation, we get into what Davis says he witnessed at Skinwalker Ranch, the role of consciousness and telepathy in the phenomenon, classified UAP research, alleged crash-retrieval programs, advanced propulsion, non-human intelligence, and what he says the U.S. government may actually know about UFOs.

This is a singular conversation with one of the most fascinating figures at the center of modern UAP disclosure.

Description: 
Laith Marouf and Ehsan Safarnejad with Deep Dive Perspective on whether Iran's stand has broken Washington's ability to project power in the Middle East.

Ehsan argues Iran's domestically built industrial base and resilience under sanctions allowed Tehran to push back where other states could not. Laith argues recent events signal the end of Western naval projection and a century of air-power dominance, challenged by drones and hypersonic missiles.

They discuss failed attempts to divide Iran internally, US policy as bipartisan, geography and strategic depth, nuclear and non-nuclear deterrence, and asymmetric warfare as practiced by regional resistance groups.
