Description:
Transition Protocol sources report a development that changes the entire Iran nuclear question:
Grand Ayatollah Sistani has reportedly ruled that the late Ayatollah Khamenei's fatwa against nuclear weapons is no longer valid — and Mojtaba Khamenei has ordered Iran's weapons capability developed.
(Source reporting; not independently verified.) It comes in the same 24 hours that Israeli media confirmed President Trump has DEMANDED Israeli withdrawals and Prime Minister Netanyahu told his cabinet he will say NO — one day before their White House showdown.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson breaks down Iran's four cards: 19+ US radars and satellite systems destroyed across Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain; critical US shortages of PAC-3, THAAD and precision-strike missiles; 25% of the world's sour crude off the market and US refineries that cannot switch; and the nuclear threshold itself. Plus: the Islamabad MOU ultimatum — implement paragraph one now, or nothing moves.

Description:
AMERICA IS BLIND: Why the Iran Bombing Stopped on Night 14
For the first time in fourteen nights, American bombs did not fall on Iran. In this emergency Saturday session, Larry Johnson reports that the reason is not diplomacy but capability: the ground-based radars across Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have been destroyed, the United States is now flying P-8 Poseidons to substitute for fixed sensors, and the command-and-control traffic that must precede a mass air campaign is not moving between Central Command at MacDill and the air operations centre now running out of Shaw Air Force Base.
Zulfiqar Ali reports that the second reason sits in Beijing and Islamabad — after three Trump–Asim Munir calls in a single week, each producing an off-ramp Washington then discarded, the mediation channel has been deliberately switched off.
Pepe Escobar joins from the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation ministerial in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, where Araghchi, Lavrov, Wang Yi and Ishaq Dar sat at the same table this week.
He explains what Wang Yi’s four-point proposal actually means — public Chinese endorsement of Pakistani mediation, a demand that Washington return to the memorandum rather than renegotiate it, and an invitation to the Gulf states to reconsider the American security umbrella.
The three also cover the Houthi strikes on Saudi Aramco facilities at Jazan and Yanbu, why Yanbu appears to have been deliberately spared, Pakistan’s refusal to fight Riyadh’s war in Yemen, the global diesel and jet fuel shortage behind the oil market, and what a permanently altered West Asian security map looks like.

Description:
BREAKING (July 20, 2026): For the first time, both of the Middle East’s major oil-export routes are closing at once — the Iran-backed Houthis have declared a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia while the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut. As U.S. forces take casualties in Jordan and Washington’s approval collapses, Transition Protocol’s Zulfiqar Ali and former CIA analyst Larry Johnson break down what the headlines miss: a personal letter now in Islamabad from Iran’s new power center, and why the next move in this war belongs to Pakistan and China — not Washington or Tehran.
In this episode: the Saudi oil blockade and the two-chokepoint squeeze; confirmed American deaths at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base; Iran’s hardened “no concessions” posture; the China-scripted role of Pakistan; and what all of it means for oil prices at your pump. Confirmed events are labeled as such; source-based reporting is clearly tagged as developing.

Description:
Hours before Iran’s July 20 deadline expires, the United States struck the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant in Khuzestan — the red line Tehran warned about for weeks — even as, according to information received by this program, Washington is quietly pushing three hidden conditions through Pakistani mediators to bring Iran back to the table, including a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz only through IRGC-approved corridors.
In this emergency Sunday briefing, Larry Johnson breaks down why Iran’s missiles stopped missing (China’s BeiDou), how deep the Pentagon’s precision-munitions inventory has been drawn down, and the global diesel and jet-fuel shortage already hitting prices; Pepe Escobar details the deadline, the back-channel, and the terms; and Zulfiqar Ali reports what his sources say about Tehran’s inner circle, Field Marshal Asim Munir’s talks with MBS, and why Kuwait’s leadership is in Islamabad right now.
Where claims go beyond public reporting, they are presented as sourced assessments — attributed on screen — and clearly separated from what is independently confirmed (the Darkhovin strike per Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization with the IAEA investigating; strikes on Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Jordan; the collapse of Hormuz transits).

Desription:
Iran’s parliament has voted 400–0 to accelerate the country’s nuclear capabilities. Sources close to Tehran’s decision-making now tell Transition Protocol that a nuclear test on Iranian soil is being openly discussed at the highest levels — with a final decision expected within days if the Sunday Pakistan–Qatar mediation window collapses.
In this episode, veteran geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar and former CIA analyst Larry Johnson join Zulfiqar Ali to map the critical week that could determine whether a U.S.–Iran war breaks out.
We examine:
- Trump’s reported personal phone calls to Field Marshal Asim Munir seeking an off-ramp
- The Pentagon’s Crisis Action Teams returning to full 24/7 war footing
- The arithmetic no one in Washington wants spoken aloud: Larry Johnson’s assessment that the U.S. Army currently holds only 56 units of its newest precision missile
We also break down why Iran believes it only needs to hit ten fixed targets — from Al Udeid to Erbil — while the United States faces roughly a thousand regenerating launch sites along the Strait of Hormuz; what an Iranian NPT withdrawal vote would actually signal; why Hezbollah now considers itself unbound; and the escalation card that has not yet been played: Bab el-Mandeb.
Source note: This episode combines publicly confirmed reporting on the collapse of the June 17 MOU with source-based information developed by Transition Protocol’s contacts. Claims that have not yet been independently verified are flagged on screen. Pepe Escobar is a globally published geopolitical correspondent; Larry Johnson is a former CIA analyst and State Department counterterrorism official.

Description:
Iran has sent a message the world wasn’t supposed to hear. According to sources relayed to Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir from inside the inner circle of Iran’s new leader Mostafa Khamenei, one more US military strike could trigger Iran’s formal withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) — and, in the source’s own words, “all bets are off.”
In this breaking episode, Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson break down the renewed US bombing campaign, strikes on BRICS-linked civilian infrastructure, the Strait of Hormuz sovereignty standoff, and the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve countdown that could hit crisis by mid-August.
Larry Johnson explains why 70% of US refineries depend on sour crude now blocked at Hormuz, why Iran’s mass mourning of 40+ million people is Iran’s “Pearl Harbor moment,” and why Trump — not Tehran — is the one begging mediators for talks in Islamabad. This is the fullest breakdown connecting Iran’s NPT decision, the oil shock, and the collapse of the Versailles MOU before anyone else.
