Pepe Escobar & Larry Johnson | Breaking: Iran's Warning One More Strike and We Leave the NPT, Will Iran Build the Bomb?" | July 9, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



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.

Pepe Escobar & Larry Johnson | BREAKING:The Secret MOU Returns -Pakistan Guards IRAN in Islamabad July 11, TRUMP Invited to Join | July 6, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Transition Protocol has learned that Pakistan has moved from mediator to operational security guarantor in the revived US-Iran diplomatic channel — providing surveillance, military intelligence, and protection to Iran's delegation ahead of the confirmed July 11 Islamabad talks. Field Marshal Asim Munir's discussions with Iranian leadership reportedly went beyond diplomacy into implementation: how to protect the MoU channel under extreme threat conditions, including alleged Israeli disruption attempts during Ayatollah Khamenei's record-breaking funeral.

This episode also covers the looming US fuel shortage tied to depleted high-sulfur crude reserves (July 11 marks the mathematical endpoint of the drawdown announced by Energy Secretary Wright), Iran's unexpected oil revenue surge despite sanctions, and reports that China and Russia have quietly backed Pakistan's expanded role. Featuring geopolitical analysts Larry Johnson and Pepe Escobar, with exclusive insider sourcing from Zulfiqar Ali.

Description:
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Let's Talk Geopolitics to break down the latest U.S. military strikes on Iran and explain why this conflict is far from over. While many politicians and media outlets are talking about de-escalation, Larry argues that the recent attacks are only the beginning of a much larger geopolitical confrontation.

In this livestream, we discuss what the latest U.S. strikes actually accomplished, how Iran is likely to respond, the growing risk of a wider regional war, and why the next phase of this conflict could reshape the balance of power across the Middle East. We also examine the roles of Israel, China, Russia, and the broader implications for global energy markets, the U.S. economy, and the future of American foreign policy.

Pepe Escobar & Larry C. Johnson | Exposes: How Did Pakistan’s Hidden Tech Stop Kill Chain in Iran? | June 24, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Pakistan — with China behind the scenes — has emerged as the broker that ended the US–Israel war on Iran, and in this special edition Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson join Zulfiqar Ali to explain what it means for the Strait of Hormuz, the petrodollar, and the new security order taking shape from Islamabad to Riyadh. The guests lay out how Iranian oil is now moving to China settled in yuan through CIPS, why Iran's president made Islamabad his first stop abroad, and what to watch when Pakistan's leadership meets MBS in Riyadh this week.

The conversation also covers the guests' most sensitive claim: that a Pakistani-Chinese technological breakthrough helped Iran halt the assassination campaign against its leadership after the March 17 killing ofAli Larijani. We flag clearly where claims are sourcebased or developing versus publicly confirmed.

Guests: Pepe Escobar (veteran geopolitical correspondent) and Larry Johnson (former CIA/State counterterrorism). Transition Protocol delivers serious, source-drivengeopolitical analysis of the multipolar shift.

Larry C. Johnson & Pepe Escobar | Why Was the Venue Moved from Islamabad to Switzerland? Sources Warn! | June 18, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Iran and the US are set to sign a memorandum of understanding this Friday, June 19, at Bürgenstock in Switzerland — and our sources say an Israeli plot to derail it may be hanging over the ceremony. In this episode, Pepe Escobar, Zulfiqar Ali, and Larry Johnson break down the breaking intel: the alleged assassination threat against an Iranian signatory, Pakistan's blunt warning to Tel Aviv ("you'll hear directly from us"), and why the venue was moved to a secure, Qatari-owned mountain site hosted by Pakistan.

We connect the dots the headlines are missing: the hidden oil clock and Strait of Hormuz reality (it won't fully reopen for months because of mines), the 60-day, 14-point MOU, Iran's strike threats that bent Donald Trump, and the deepening China–Russia–Iran alignment behind every mediated term. We also cover JD Vance and Ghalibaf as the Friday signatories, Bennett vs. Netanyahu, the $24bn in frozen Iranian assets, and the global recession/de-dollarization stakes for your wallet.

Guests: Pepe Escobar (veteran geopolitical correspondent), Larry Johnson (former CIA analyst), hosted by Zulfiqar Ali. Some claims in this episode are source-based and developing; we flag verification status on screen. Transition Protocol is a serious, source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis channel focused on evidence-based breakdowns of global power shifts.

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).
