Larry Johnson | Zero Exits: Houthis Blockade Saudi Arabia-Iran’s Secret Letter to Pakistan | July 20, 2026

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.

Larry Johnson is a former CIA and State Department counterterrorism official; Zulfiqar Ali is a geopolitical analyst with regional source access. Transition Protocol is a serious, source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis channel focused on evidence-based breakdowns of global power shifts and their financial consequences.

Richard Wolff | US Economy in ‘VERY DANGEROUS’ Place as Emergency Oil Reserves Hit 43-YEAR LOW | July 20, 2026

Labels , , , , , , /
Source: Rachel Blevins youtube



Description:
Oil prices continue to rise for a second straight week, as President Trump vowed more strikes against Iran after at least two American soldiers were killed by retaliatory Iranian strikes on U.S. Military bases in Jordan. This, as U.S. strategic petroleum reserves hits their lowest levels since 1983.

Prof. Richard Wolff, an American Economist and founder of Democracy at Work, noted that while the Trump Admin has relied on the U.S. emergency reserves to steady the oil market thus far, time is running out and the U.S. economy is in a “VERY DANGEROUS” place, as the war against Iran continues, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and all signs point to further escalation…

Pepe Escobar & Larry Johnson | RED LINE CROSSED: US BOMBS Iran's Nuclear Plant TEHRAN Unleashes Heaviest Strikes on US Bases | July 19, 2026

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



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).

The Grayzone | The US and Iran "fighting for final, ultimate victory" - top Iranian analyst | July 20, 2026

Source: The Grayzone youtube



Description:
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal meets Mostafa Khoshcheshm, one of Iran's most connected and prolific analysts and journalists, to discuss the next phase of the US-Israeli war on the country, and why he thinks Iran will emerge as a regional power.

Khoshcheshm explains how the current phase of conflict will likely escalate into a full blown regional war, and why he believes that Israel is already on its way toward an internal political implosion. This is part two of a two part interview. 

Watch part one here:



The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal meets top Iranian analyst and journalist Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm in Tehran on July 9, moments after the US resumed airstrikes on Iran, and as the funeral procession for the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proceeded through Iraq.


Blumenthal asks Khoshcheshm what the red flags of revenge seen throughout the funeral procession signify, and whether the many public calls for targeting the US president and his inner circle as retaliation for Khamenei's assassination, and the killings of other top Iranian leaders, are to be taken seriously.

Khoshcheshm explains why he sees a massive regional war over the horizon, and why this war may eventually reach the United States due to Trump's reckless behavior and "betrayal" of his own regional allies.

Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm has taught at a number of Iranian universities and academic centers, including the International Relations Faculty of the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
