Pepe Escobar: ALL BETS ARE OFF: US Strike on Iranian Nuclear Site Triggers Dangerous New Escalation
About this episode
The episode discusses the geopolitical tensions in West Asia following a US strike on an Iranian nuclear site and the resulting military strategies employed by Iran and its allies.
CRITICAL GEOPOLITICAL UPDATE: West Asia is on the brink as the Yemeni Armed Forces announce a total maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia. In this interview, we break down the July 2026 escalation, including a failed mediation deadline set by Iran and China. With trust in the US at zero, Tehran is systematically targeting American bases across Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait with devastating precision, aided by advanced Chinese satellite technology. Discover the coordinated "attrition" strategy of the Axis of Resistance, the US administration's contradictory push for both war and negotiation, and the high-stakes showdown that could redefine the 21st-century global order.
