Description:
Geopolitical analyst Ben Norton discusses Trump and Israel's preparations for a massive strike on Iran and breaks down why the US is choosing escalation now despite retreating on multiple fronts in the war.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve just hit its lowest level since 1983, Washington signals it won’t tap further, and the Strait of Hormuz remains contested — and this briefing examines why the next two weeks may decide the US–Iran war.
Recorded July 31 as Saudi Arabia’s new Red Sea coalition drew a “full escalation” warning from Yemen.
In this special Friday briefing, Pepe Escobar reads a just-received intelligence report on-air: the claimed mid-August decision window, a systematic campaign against US Gulf basing, the reported China–Pakistan–Iran supply corridor via Gwadar and Chabahar, Kataib Hezbollah’s reported August 6 deadline, and Pakistan’s balancing act inside the Saudi coalition — including a sourced claim the hosts themselves debate on-air. Claims are labeled throughout as confirmed, developing, or unverified.

Description:
The US war on Iran keeps expanding into a regional conflict, as more countries get involved. Reports show that Donald Trump is getting desperate, and he is frantically seeking an off-ramp. Washington announced a "pause" to the fighting, but it lasted just four days.
Ben Norton explains the three main reasons why the United States is desperately seeking an exit: one, the Pentagon is running out of missile interceptors; two, the number of casualties among American troops is steadily increasing; and three, Yemen joined the conflict, attacking Saudi oil infrastructure, exacerbating the energy crisis.

Description:
Iran’s IRGC reported that missile attacks on the Muwaffaq al Salti Air Base in Jordan destroyed three U.S. F-35 fighter jets, and damaged three others. They say the attack also killed several U.S. officers and technicians who were on site.
Of course, Central Command was quick to claim the reports were false, and U.S. air defenses shot down all incoming missiles. They did the same earlier this month before they admitted that Iranian attacks killed multiple U.S. soldiers, and left more than 100 injured.
Veteran Lebanese Journalist Dr. Marwa Osman noted that we are entering “a catastrophic phase” of the war, as the Trump Admin’s frustration with the resilience of the Iranian people, pushes Iran to escalate its strategic response. The impact of this war is already being felt across the region and by the global economy, as the Axis of Resistance prepares for its next round of attacks…
