Larry C. Johnson | Will Iran Restart the War by Friday? The Netanyahu Trap Explaine | June 15, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
The US and Iran have reached a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with a signing set for Friday in Geneva and roughly $24 billion in frozen Iranian funds on the table over a 60-day negotiation. But the public story isn't the whole story.

In this episode, veteran analyst Larry Johnson and Zulfiqar Ali reveal what sources at the table are telling them: that China — and Xi Jinping personally — pressured Iran to sign, that half of Iran's own delegation wanted to keep fighting, and that Israel's continued offensive in Lebanon could detonate the entire accord within days.

We break down what's CONFIRMED (the Geneva Accord, the Hormuz reopening, the $24B, Pakistan's mediation), what's DEVELOPING (the China pressure, the Gulf realignment), and what remains a single-source claim (Chinese missiles in combat, the Khamenei reinterment).
