Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description: 
Iran has reportedly given Washington a matter of days — not weeks — to change course on the Strait of Hormuz, according to Pakistani and Iranian mediation sources detailed in this Transition Protocol special. I
n this breaking-news episode, Zulfiqar Ali and Pepe Escobar break down MBS's second phone call blocking a revamped US strike on Iran, the UAE's stunning gold-and-cash outreach to Tehran, Pakistan and China's central role as mediators, and Iran's readiness — including a reported 2,000-boat swarm fleet — to defend the Strait of Hormuz if diplomacy fails.

Pepe Escobar is a veteran geopolitical analyst and journalist covering Eurasia, BRICS, and multipolar world affairs for over two decades; Zulfiqar Ali hosts Transition Protocol, a source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis show reaching audiences in fourteen languages.

Larry Johnson & Pepe Escobar | Breaking: Exposes Bessent's Dumbest Claim Yet Trump Says “Total Control” Iran Says No | Aug. 12, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Strait of Hormuz irrelevant in two years? Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said so on Aug. 8, claiming pipelines will replace most Gulf oil flow — but existing bypass capacity covers less than a quarter of what actually crosses Hormuz.

The same week, President Trump claimed “total control” of the Strait, and Iran's newly confirmed Supreme National Security Council chief, Mohsen Rezaei, said it stays shut until the US ends the war and returns frozen assets. Pepe Escobar, Larry Johnson, and Zulfiqar Ali break down all three claims against the actual numbers, plus the new Mecca Joint Defence Agreement and a US Strategic Petroleum Reserve that just hit its lowest level since 1983.

Beyond the headlines: what a stalled Hormuz reopening means for global diesel and jet fuel supply, why the US emergency oil reserve matters for every driver and airline, and what Pakistan's active back-channel diplomacy with Tehran could mean for the weeks ahead. Verification note: claims in this episode are labeled Confirmed, Developing, or Assessment/Unverified throughout. Source-based intelligence is clearly flagged and should be weighed accordingly — we'd rather be right than first.

Dr. Warwick Powel | America Is Losing Its Grip on Asia — Japan Rearms, China Rises | Aug. 12, 2026

Source: Carl Zha youtube



Description: 
Is the United States losing its ability to dominate Asia?

In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, Carl Zha is joined by Australian economist and geopolitical analyst Dr. Warwick Powell for a wide-ranging discussion about the changing balance of power from the Persian Gulf to East Asia.

The conversation begins with the continuing war involving Iran and the strategic consequences of the Strait of Hormuz. Dr. Powell argues that the conflict could have consequences far beyond the battlefield, particularly through disruptions to oil, diesel and other petroleum-derived products.

The discussion then turns to a much bigger question: what happens when America’s allies begin preparing for a world in which the U.S. can no longer guarantee their security?

Larry Johnson | US 10x Surge in THAAD & PAC-3 Ammo; Yemeni Rockets Hit Saudi Command | Aug. 11, 2026

Source: Dialogue Works youtube, Sonar21.com



Description:
On Dialogue Works, Larry Johnson digs into a reported US push to massively expand THAAD and PAC-3 interceptor stocks—what a roughly tenfold ammo surge says about expected threat volume, production bottlenecks, and how thin Western air-defense magazines already are.

He pairs that industrial signal with battlefield news from the Arabian Peninsula: Yemeni rockets striking Saudi command infrastructure, and what that implies for Riyadh’s security perimeter and for any coalition still treating missile defense as a clean technological fix.

Johnson’s frame is practical rather than theatrical: interceptor economics, salvo math, and the gap between stockpiles on paper and sustained high-intensity conflict. Escalation risk sits in the logistics, not only in the headlines.

A concise geopolitics update on oil logistics, Hormuz leverage, and the squeeze on Gulf economies. 

Patrick Henningsen | Is the Iran War Over? | Aug. 10, 2026

Source: Danny Haiphong youtube, 21stcenturywire.com, 21st Century Wire youtube



Description:
Danny Haiphong is joined by Patrick Henningsen of 21st Century Wire to discuss whether the Iran war is over. Reports suggest Trump may walk away from the conflict without a nuclear deal if Iran agrees to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has laid out firm demands including ending US troop presence, stopping wars of aggression against its allies, and receiving compensation for damages. Meanwhile, Yemen continues escalating strikes against Saudi proxy forces with drone swarms and missiles.

Henningsen analyzes the US military's weakened position in the region, the failure of diplomatic efforts, and how Iran is taking advantage of political vulnerabilities in both Washington and Jerusalem.

The Middle East is heating up on several fronts at once: Iranian pressure in the Strait of Hormuz, Yemen’s Ansar Allah strikes on Saudi-linked targets, contested US military-loss figures, and a still-fragmented Syria.

The stream also covers oil-market messaging, satellite imagery of damaged sites, and how Western powers helped create many of the armed groups now treated as threats.

Watch for signs of further escalation — including US refueling aircraft in Israel and renewed resistance activity in southern Syria and Lebanon.
