Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
The Israeli war machine is running out of money, and the US empire is taking hits. On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down the severe warnings from Israel’s own leadership that its 3-front axis could collapse as its army budget falls dangerously low. This comes as Iranian missile and drone strikes in the Strait of Hormuz successfully hit a ship, injuring US soldiers and highlighting the extreme vulnerability of American imperialism.

Robert also brings you extreme battle footage from Yemen, where an F-15 has been shot down, further embarrassing the military-industrial complex. Plus, we expose the double standards of the region: Saudi Arabia playing sectarianism, Syrians escalating protests against economic mismanagement, and the powerful social justice movement in Jordan preparing for a Day of Rage in support of Gaza.

Stand against the war machine. See through the propaganda.

Description:
Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, the former Finance Minister of Greece, and the author of numerous bestselling books. Varoufakis discusses how the EU is a cartel designed by the U.S. that is no longer fit for purpose. 

The German economic locomotive has broken down; the EU no longer has an economic model, its foreign policy is consumed by war, and it has already become a technological colony. Varoufakis also argues that China can now pull the plug on the U.S. economy if it chooses to do so.

Description:
Iran holds the Strait of Hormuz. Yemen’s forces now hold the Bab al-Mandab. Saudi Arabia is boxed in on both coasts — and Transition Protocol says it knows why Yemen went all-in.

Recorded after midnight in Moscow, Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali (Mr. Z) break down five interlocking developments: the quiet understanding between Ansarallah and the White House behind Trump’s “the Houthis called us”; CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper’s meeting with MBS in Jeddah; the postponed Iran–Gulf Hormuz talks that Iran blames on Riyadh; the UAE’s surprise BRICS sit-down with President Pezeshkian; and Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi’s talks with Wang Yi in Beijing.

The hosts also say they hold information — which they say was confirmed at senior levels in Tehran and Islamabad — explaining the ferocity of Yemen’s offensive. They explain on air why they are not releasing the details yet.

Also: diesel at the $9.99 pump limit in California, who turned down MBS’s requests for help, Yemen’s next moves on Taiz and Marib, and Pepe Escobar’s scenarios for Saudi Arabia.

Larry C. Johnson | Saudi Oil's Escape Route Got Cut, Houthis Claim Saudi F-15 KILL as OIL Crisis Deepens | Sept. 17, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Hormuz was already blocked. Now Saudi Arabia's main escape route — the East-West pipeline to the Red Sea — is shut, the Houthis claim they shot down a Saudi F-15, and the Fed just raised rates.

Military analyst Larry and host Zulfiqar Ali explain how the Houthi offensive, the pipeline outage and record diesel prices connect — and why the only door being negotiated open may be an Iran-controlled corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, with a fee attached.

In this episode: why the Houthi offensive was planned months ago; what the Houthis' F-15 claim means for Saudi air power; Pakistan's reported answer to MBS; Iran's reported one-for-one tanker offer; the Pentagon inspector general's report on US bases; the Fed's first rate hike since 2023; $9.99 diesel in California; and whether the oil shock can ease before the 3 November midterms.

Sourcing note: the pipeline shutdown, the Fed decision and the Pentagon IG findings are publicly confirmed. The F-15 downing is a Houthi claim not confirmed by Saudi Arabia. Statements attributed to contacts in Tehran, Islamabad and Riyadh are our guests' sources and have not been independently verified. Predictions are the speakers' analysis.
