MintPress News | Iran seizes US submarine as anti-ship missiles inflict soldier casualties | Sept. 28, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , , , ,

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
On this explosive episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh covers the dramatic escalation in West Asia as Iran takes control of a US unmanned submarine and anti-ship missile barrages inflict real casualties on American soldiers, as the U.S. brings in another aircraft carrier to the region. This is not a drill — and it is not the story you are being told by mainstream media outlets.

Saudi oil infrastructure continues to take major hits, CENTCOM is no longer commenting on Iranian ballistic missile attacks on their bases & Mossad backed forces in Iraq.

Yemen’s Ansarallah is advancing & the capture of the strategic city of Taiz is near.

Israel is meanwhile aggressing against Gaza & Lebanon, while Hezbollah flies reconnaissance drones along the border in preparation for a large-scale escalation.

Inlakesh provides critical context that the corporate press deliberately omits: the history of US naval aggression in the Persian Gulf, the failure of diplomacy by design, and the devastating human toll on both sides of a conflict manufactured in Washington. From the illegal assassination of General Soleimani to the sabotage of Iranian nuclear facilities to the relentless militarization of the Persian Gulf, Inlakesh connects the dots that the mainstream press refuses to acknowledge. The American working class is paying the price — in blood and treasure — for the ambitions of an empire in decline.

If you want journalism that refuses to act as a Pentagon stenographer, you are in the right place

Larry Johnson | Iran hit ships two nights running. U.S. didn't shoot back. 37 American soldiers wounded | Sept. 28, 2026

Description:
Trump rejected Iran’s seven-day plan on Saturday. Transition Protocol’s sources say Tehran is now ready to move to break the U.S. blockade after September 30 — and former CIA analyst Larry Johnson explains why Washington hasn’t fired back.

Host Zulfiqar Ali and Larry Johnson on: Iran’s strikes in the Strait of Hormuz and the missing U.S. response · why Johnson calls the administration’s oil-flow claims “an absolute total lie” · what a Pentagon casualty acknowledgement suggests about which ship was hit · the reported tanker and transport build-up at Al Udeid · China’s mixed signals · why Pakistan won’t fight the Houthis (per our Islamabad sources) · a rift at the top of the Saudi royal family (per our sources) · Netanyahu’s trip to Abu Dhabi · the Fairford arrests · the midterm clock · and why Johnson expects no recovery in Gulf oil flows for at least a year.

SOURCING: Claims attributed to “our sources” come from the host’s contacts and have not been independently verified. Larry Johnson’s views are his own analysis. Trump’s rejection of Iran’s proposal was reported on 26 September. The five men arrested near RAF Fairford were released on bail on 28 September; UK police say inquiries continue, and Iran’s embassy has denied any link.

Pepe Escobar | Iran’s Next Front Is the Indian Ocean and Clock Starts This Week,Naval Breakout Next? | Sept. 27, 2026

Labels , , , ,

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Iran is prepared to take the war beyond the Strait of Hormuz and into the Indian Ocean if nothing moves this week — that is what Pepe Escobar’s contacts and three separate decision-level sources in Tehran are telling Transition Protocol. Here is the way out Washington did not take, the deadlines that start the clock, and who will and will not fight.

In the first edition of THE WEEK AHEAD, Pepe Escobar — speaking from Bangkok at 1 a.m. Monday — joins host Zulfiqar Ali to map the seven days that could decide the Iran war.

— Xi’s off-ramp: according to Escobar, Xi Jinping told Trump face to face to go back to the memorandum both sides signed. Chinese state media reported Xi backed a return to the June 17 Islamabad memorandum.

— The clock: Mohsen Rezaei’s four-to-five-day window runs out Monday 28 September; Wednesday 30 September is a second deadline, as Escobar describes it.

— Hormuz on Iran’s terms: pay the fee, get IRGC Navy clearance — or be attacked.
— Yemen: the Saudi strike on a market in Taiz, and what comes next.
— Pakistan’s answer: will Islamabad join a Saudi–Pakistani–Turkish campaign against Yemen? The host’s sources say no. On Tuesday he brings the answer from a decision-maker.

Description: 
Episode 2190. Germany's foreign minister Johann Wadephul just sat down with Sergey Lavrov at the UN for the first German Russian foreign minister talks since the special military operation began, and the ceasefire push looks a lot like Merkel's Minsk playbook from Debaltseve. Alex breaks down who really asked for the meeting, why the Putin G20 Miami invite smells like a trap, Trump rejecting Iran's Strait of Hormuz offer, Russian strikes on Kiev, the Swiss neutrality referendum and the Trump Xi tariff deal. Is Europe's panic over the front lines the real story behind this sudden outreach to Moscow?

Vijay Prashad | Xi Put an Exit From the Iran War on Trump's Desk. Why Is It Still Sitting There? | Sep. 26, 2026

Labels , , , , , , Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description: 
Chinese President Xi Jinping met Donald Trump in the Oval Office and put Iran's final 60-day de-escalation framework directly on the Resolute Desk. Trump refused—and Tehran's September 30 deadline to break the US blockade by force is now live.

In this emergency Transition Protocol intelligence briefing, renowned historian and geopolitical analyst Vijay Prashad joins host Zulfiqar Ali to break down the explosive backchannel negotiations, frontline sanctions defiance, and catastrophic imperial blowback reshaping the global order.

From secret meetings between Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in New York, to the destruction of US early-warning radar arrays in Kuwait and the impending closure of Al Udeid base in Qatar, Prashad reveals why Washington's position in West Asia is collapsing in real time.

Meanwhile, inside the United States, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has sent California diesel surging to $10 a gallon and mortgage rates to 7%, triggering a devastating domestic inflationary crisis just weeks before the midterm elections.

Pepe Escobar | Iran’s Hormuz Offer: 3 Conditions, 7 Days, Sep 30 Deadline. Xi Gave Trump One Way Out | Sep. 25, 2026

Labels , , , , , Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description: 
Iran has reportedly put a conditional offer on the table for reopening the Strait of Hormuz — but the proposal comes with terms, a seven-day sequence, and a September 30 deadline. 

In this emergency briefing, Pepe Escobar breaks down the reported New York diplomatic channel, the conditions tied to the Strait of Hormuz, China’s reported message to Donald Trump, the aviation-ban confrontation, the Red Sea front, and the parallel military and diplomatic tracks.

This episode distinguishes on-record analysis, attributed reporting, source-based claims, and forecasts. Claims about an Iranian offer, China’s position, and regional alignment are presented as statements made in the conversation unless independently confirmed in the final edit. Viewer judgment matters: which track is moving faster, diplomacy or escalation, and who blinks first?
