The war in Ukraine is not just about Ukraine and Russia with the US and NATO acting as seemingly benevolent supporters of Ukraine, as the Western media portray.
The United States and its NATO allies are deeply involved in the conflict. The military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 – after 20 years of futile occupation – was a calculated “reorganization of firepower” against Russia, says Pepe Escobar.
Ukraine is merely a proxy and ultimately cannon fodder for American imperial planners.
This war is part of a bigger geopolitical confrontation between the US and Russia, China and other nations that are pushing for the emergence of a multipolar world. That is a multipolar world no longer under the hegemony of US-dominated Western capitalism.
Pepe Escobar assesses the bigger picture and outlines how the US imperial state is in "panic mode" to shore up the collapsing American-controlled global capitalist system, and in particular the privileged position of the US dollar.
Going to war with Russia presently and in the longer term against China is part of the desperate dynamic to prolong the dominant position of Washington that was established after the Second World War. That postwar imperial order – euphemistically called the "rules-based order" – is increasingly falling into disrepute from unbridled imperialist wars and abuse of financial controls.
The vast majority of the planet wants liberation from the US/Western warmongering system that underpins capitalist exploitation that only enriches a global elite. The war in Ukraine is but the manifestation of the breakdown in US global power and the desperation to preserve the systematic inequality that defines capitalism.
This year is fraught with extreme danger, says Pepe Escobar. But if the psychotic US deep-state planners can be contained by Russia and China without an all-out catastrophic war erupting then there is a chance of a more hopeful, peaceful and just world order emerging.

Description:
BRICS 2025 Summit delivers shocking revelations as Pepe Escobar exposes how the BRICS 2025 summit exceeded all expectations despite initial skepticism. In this exclusive BRICS news analysis, renowned geopolitical expert Pepe Escobar breaks down the major developments from the BRICS Summit 2025 in Rio, revealing how Russia's announcement about the New Development Bank (NDB) bypassing SWIFT represents the most significant de-dollarization move yet.
Discover why Lula's leadership surprised everyone, how Modi's strategic partnership with Brazil positions India as the next BRICS chair, and the real reasons behind Xi Jinping's absence. Escobar reveals exclusive insights from BRICS Business Council meetings, the emergence of a BRICS media alliance, and how BRICS partners like Malaysia and Iran are reshaping global geopolitics.
Learn about BRICS expansion strategies, the critical role of Southeast Asia and ASEAN integration, and how the Global South is building parallel financial systems. This BRICS summit analysis covers everything from Indonesia's growing influence to the formation of alternative payment mechanisms that challenge Western dominance.
Get the inside story on BRICS trade developments, media platform initiatives, and why Trump's immediate tariff response proves BRICS 2025 highlights represent a genuine threat to dollar hegemony.
This BRICS 2025 analysis doesn't include detailed technical specifications of new payment systems, specific investment figures for China-Brazil projects, or comprehensive coverage of all BRICS partners' individual policies. We don't explore internal NDB restructuring processes, detailed ASEAN member country positions, or extensive analysis of Iran-Indonesia bilateral relations outside the BRICS framework.

In this episode of POWER SHIFT, Zulfiqar Ali, Pepe Escobar, and former CIA officer Larry C. Johnson lay out the full picture: the three-stage roadmap (Israel halts Lebanon and Palestine → the Strait of Hormuz reopens → the accord is finalized), a 24–48 hour announcement window, China’s role behind the scenes with Putin’s blessing, and the real risks that could still derail it.
⚠️ This reflects source-based intelligence on a deal that is NOT yet signed. We present it as developing, and we mark what we know versus what we don’t.

Description:
The US–Iran signing was supposed to happen in Geneva. Instead it reportedly moved to Versailles overnight — and according to sources cited in this episode, the reason was a credible assassination threat against Iran's delegation.
Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break down what their sources at the table are saying about the Iran–US MOU, the Strait of Hormuz red line, Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon, and a reported Monday deadline that could trigger Iranian retaliation within 72 hours.
In this special edition of Transition Protocol, we connect the dots between Iran's claimed “strategic victory,” the threat to close the Strait of Hormuz (and what that means for global oil prices), Iran's reported readiness to pursue a North Korea–style nuclear path, and Pakistan's elevated role as power broker — backed in the background by China and Russia. We also examine why sources describe Trump as boxed in, and what choice the White House faces this weekend.
Source note: Pepe Escobar is a veteran geopolitical analyst covering Eurasia and the multipolar world order; Zulfiqar Ali brings reporting sourced through Pakistani and Iranian channels. Some claims in this episode are source-based and developing — we flag verification status on-screen and present them as attributed reporting, not confirmed fact. Transition Protocol is a serious, source-driven geopolitical analysis channel.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Why Trump wants to hit Iran?
Because Iran is becoming Eurasia's logistics hub — and a new documentary by Pepe Escobar and Press TV shows exactly why that terrifies Washington.
The First and Only documentary in English on the Russia-Iran-India corridor (linking 3 BRICS), filmed last May in Iran, from the Caspian to the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
The Empire of Chaos simply cannot allow the corridor to go through.
Timeline:
(00:00) Iran as a historic and modern crossroads of global trade
(05:28) The North–South Corridor: Russia–Iran–India axis explained
(12:02) Caspian ports, rail gaps & the Rasht–Astara missing link
(20:50) Competing routes & China–Pakistan corridor comparison
(30:26) Bandar Abbas, Hormuz & maritime power
(37:35) Chabahar: Deep-water gateway & Gwadar comparison
(49:42) From geopolitics to geoeconomics

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.

They also reveal what almost no one is reporting — that Russia's Putin and China's Xi were standing directly behind the Iran–Pakistan alignment, and why insiders believe the deal is already being sabotaged before the ink dries, with war potentially resuming after the US midterms.

Description:
BREAKING: In the fullest on-camera breakdown yet, Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali reveal how Pakistan — not Washington — quietly brokered the Iran–US Memorandum of Understanding at Bürgenstock, Switzerland, and how Saudi Arabia is now signaling a historic move away from the US security umbrella toward a Pakistan-coordinated, China-backed order.
Sources close to the talks describe a 60-day MOU framework, $12 billion (and a possible $24 billion) in frozen Iranian funds underwritten by Riyadh and Doha, and zero face-to-face US–Iran contact — every word passing through Pakistani and Qatari mediators.
We connect the Bürgenstock talks to the bigger story: a Saudi–Pakistan military doctrine, an unsigned nuclear umbrella over the Gulf, Iran's ~440 kg of 60% enriched uranium as the central 60-day question, and the deep-background roles of China and Russia. President Pezeshkian's first foreign trip since the February 28 war is to Islamabad — confirmed — and Sharif and Field Marshal Munir head to Riyadh this week.
