Pepe Escobar: China JUST Humiliated Trump’s Sanctions – Iran NOW Controls Hormuz
From Dialogue Works by Nima Rostami Alkhorshid

About this episode
Pepe Escobar discusses the implications of Iran's strengthened alliance with Russia and China in the context of US sanctions and regional dynamics.
Iran strengthens Russia-China alliance following US-led conflict. New Strait of Hormuz management requires rial payments, Iranian bank guarantees, reparations from nations involved in hostilities. UAE faces potential repercussions for alleged wartime collaboration. As US-China summit approaches, Beijing labels war 'illegitimate'; revived Russia-Iran-China triangle reshapes Eurasian dynamics. Diplomatic hurdles persist: trust deficits, security guarantees before nuclear talks. Global economic pressures mount as regional powers navigate fragile ceasefire and accelerating multipolar order.
