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

Labels , , , , , , , , , 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?

Pepe Escobar | Khamenei Pivots After Secret Six-Hour Meeting with Pezeshkian; Pakistan Mecca Pact Shakes Eurasia | August 12, 2026

Description:
On Transition Protocol, Pepe Escobar walks through a tightly packed Iran–Pakistan–Eurasia brief: a reported secret six-hour meeting between Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian, and what a “pivot” in Tehran’s internal and regional posture could signal.

Escobar also flags Pakistan’s Mecca-linked diplomacy as a potential shock to wider Eurasian alignments—how religious, security, and trade vectors can move together when great-power pressure is high.

The conversation ties these moves to the broader multipolar map: Iranian decision-making under stress, Islamabad’s balancing act, and why opaque elite meetings matter more than the daily headline cycle.

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

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.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson | Russia & North Korea Missiles Hammer Kiev, Iran Hits US Ships | Aug. 11, 2026

Description:
Danny Haiphong speaks with Col. Lawrence Wilkerson about a sharp escalation across multiple theaters: Russian and North Korean munitions striking targets around Kiev, and Iranian forces engaging US naval assets.

Wilkerson places the strikes in the wider collapse of proxy-war assumptions—how Moscow’s firepower, Pyongyang’s industrial support, and Tehran’s regional posture together pressure Washington’s strategy and expose the limits of escalation management.

They also unpack what this means for US ships in contested waters, risk of wider war framing (“WW3”), and why diplomatic off-ramps keep shrinking as kinetic facts on the ground outrun official narratives.

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 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.

Larry Johnson | BREAKING: Where Was Mojtaba Khamenei? Iran's UNSEEN Leader Made 1st Move- Who Signed Iran's Decree?? | Aug. 10, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , , , , Source: Transition Protocol youtube, Sonar21.com



Iran replaced the secretary of its Supreme National Security Council last night — by decree of a Supreme Leader the world has not laid eyes on since the strike that killed his father in February. Every newsroom carried the decree. None of them could tell you who signed it.

Transition Protocol has been told by a source close to him that Mojtaba Khamenei has largely recovered, that the change at the top of Iran's security apparatus was his own decision, and that Iran's answer to Washington is being carried to Islamabad this week. We report that as what it is: single-source and unconfirmed. We are telling you who told us and what they are in a position to know, and you can weigh it.

In this briefing, Larry Johnson and Zulfiqar Ali cover why Western analysts are misreading the elevation of Mohsen Rezaei as the arrival of a hardliner; what Iran's updated ten points now demand, including four names that were not in the April version; why six strikes on shipping in eight days have drawn no American retaliation; what the emerging Oman arrangement means for transit permission, tolls and the currency they are paid in; why Saudi Arabia cannot win the exchange it is now in with Yemen; and why Japan's refineries — not the barrel count — are the hidden mechanism behind the global diesel and jet-fuel shortage.

Analysis by Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst and former Deputy Director of the US State Department's Office of Counterterrorism, with Zulfiqar Ali. Hosted by Transition Protocol.
