Pepe Escobar | MBS Called Trump Twice Trump Said No.Saudi Oil Is Trapped Saudia Has Nowhere To Run | Transition Protocol | Sept. 14, 2026

Labels , , , , ,

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Pepe Escobar, past midnight in Moscow, on the week the map flipped. Saudi Arabia's Hormuz-bypass pipeline is shut after drone strikes. Yemen's Ansarallah took the entire west coast and the Bab al-Mandeb island of Mayun. MBS called Trump twice asking for strikes on the Houthis and was refused, as reported by Axios and Reuters. Pakistan says no military response was discussed under the Makkah pact. Monday, Iran meets Gulf states in Muscat on Hormuz — with Bahrain already out.

Also in this episode: BRICS New Delhi's unanimous line on sanctions; Pepe vs. the host on whether Iran can "declare victory"; and a sourced, not independently confirmed report from the host's contacts that Pakistan's Asim Munir is working a back channel between Iran and the Gulf at Iran's unofficial request. Pepe's "20 to 2" doctrine line and his account of UAE participation on Feb 28 are his reading and are not independently verified.

Pepe Escobar | EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Secret Iran Backchannel COLLAPSED-Pak Army Chief Refused Trump’s Request | Aug. 18, 2026

Description:
The U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding has expired — and this episode reveals exactly why. Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break down two secret back-channel plays Washington ran to bypass Pakistan and reach Iran’s military command directly, why IRGC leadership refused both times, and what Iran’s newly appointed #2 official signaled by shifting toward "offense."

The conversation goes deep on nuclear-normalization talk reportedly circulating in Washington, Iran’s retaliation posture, Pakistan’s damaged mediator role, and the upcoming BRICS Summit in New Delhi where Iran, Russia, and China’s presidents are expected to meet.

Pepe Escobar is a globally recognized, veteran geopolitical journalist with decades of on-the-ground reporting across Eurasia; Zulfiqar Ali hosts Transition Protocol with direct sourcing inside regional decision-making circles.

Larry Johnson | BREAKING: ”Iran Is Done Playing Defense”-Insiders WARN of a Strike on a US Warship | Aug. 17, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , , ,

Description:
Iran has moved from defensive to offensive posture — and sources in Tehran and Islamabad tell Transition Protocol the next step under discussion is an attack on a US Navy warship. Meanwhile, the American fleet enforcing the Iran blockade in the Strait of Hormuz is running out of food, having lost its forward resupply warehouses in Bahrain and Oman and half its fast combat supply ships to a decade-old budget cut. Today the US–Iran MOU officially expired. Larry Johnson and Zulfiqar Ali break down what happens next.

In this episode: why Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman, and the Hormuz transit-fee agreement that likely triggered it; why oil moving off ships is reportedly changing hands as high as $260 a barrel while the tanker ETF has gone from $67 to $387 since February; why the global diesel and aviation fuel shortage cannot be solved by pumping more crude; how BRICS, China’s CIPS payment system and six new Pakistani overland routes have made sanctioning Iran into isolation impossible; why the Turkey–Pakistan–Saudi Mecca pact cannot fight for 12 to 18 months; and what was reportedly discussed about the nuclear option at Camp David this weekend.

Larry Johnson spent 27 years in US intelligence and counterterrorism, including the CIA and the State Department’s Office of Counterterrorism, and has run joint military operations planning for over two decades.

Zulfiqar Ali reports with direct visibility into decision-making circles in Tehran and Islamabad. Transition Protocol is a serious, source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis channel focused on evidence-based reporting and high-signal breakdowns of global power shifts and their financial consequences. Some claims in this episode are source-based and developing; each is identified as such on screen. Nothing here is investment advice.;

Alex Christoforou | LAVROV, US wants to buy Nord Stream on the cheap. YERMAK betrayed. Macron, 'I find you very pretty' | May 14, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , Source: Alex Christoforou youtube



Description:
Trump and Xi Jinping just held a two-hour summit in Beijing and what was said about Taiwan, Iran, and the future of US-China relations could reshape global diplomacy. Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down the meeting's real meaning, including why the absence of weeks-long diplomatic preparation signals this was more of a business summit than a geopolitical breakthrough.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, speaking at the BRICS meeting in India, laid out Moscow's claim that the United States is engineering full-spectrum energy dominance including a plan to purchase the Nord Stream pipeline company at a fraction of its value and resell Russian gas to Europe under an American label. 
 
Meanwhile, Russia launched one of its largest drone and missile barrages in months, Ukraine's air defense intercepted under 30% of incoming fire, Zelensky's former chief of staff Yermak is now facing money laundering charges, and NATO chief Rutte is quietly pushing to triple financial support for Kiev. Is the West's Ukraine strategy finally cracking under the weight of its own contradictions?
