🇮🇷 Pepe Escobar says the real negotiations aren't happening between Washington and Tehran, but between Iran and Oman over the future of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Escobar, Iran rejected a Qatari proposal for dual shipping corridors. Instead, Tehran and Muscat are discussing a temporary arrangement with a single navigation channel managed through mutual agreement. He also notes that Iran insists there are currently "less than zero" direct negotiations with the United States. "The only negotiation going on at the moment... we are discussing with the Omanis about the Strait of Hormuz." Pepe Escobar

🇮🇷 Pepe Escobar says the biggest developments with Iran aren't happening in public. He argues intense backchannel diplomacy is underway through Pakistan, but claims Tehran remains firm: any deal must pick up where previous negotiations left off. "They will not yield on the sequencing of the negotiations." Pepe Escobar

🇮🇷🇵🇰 A secret phone call between Iran and Pakistan may have just changed everything. Pepe Escobar breaks down the 3 conditions Tehran sent to Washington through Islamabad, and why Trump went quiet immediately after. "If threats persist, we will go for a detonation of a nuclear device on Iranian soil. Not as an act of war, but as an irreversible sovereign demonstration of capability to control escalation dominance." Washington apparently got the message. Pepe Escobar

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN DOESN’T USE SLEEPER CELLS Pepe Escobar says claims about Iranian sleeper networks in the West are “totally stupid,” arguing Tehran operates through organized regional allies instead. He says the real sleeper networks around the region belong to ISIS and al-Qaeda factions, which are sworn enemies of Iran. Pepe Escobar

Pakistan, not the U.S., may be the real architect of this Iran deal. That was Pepe Escobar's throughline, and Pezeshkian seemed to confirm part of it, publicly crediting Pakistan's leadership as the builders of the MOU before landing in Islamabad. Pepe's account of Switzerland reads like a thriller. He says the U.S. and Iranian delegations never spoke a single word directly, everything routed through Pakistani and Qatari mediators, and that Iran walked out three times before being coaxed back. The framing he keeps returning to: nobody, not even close allies, trusts what Trump says day to day, so the Gulf is quietly building its own architecture. His biggest claim is that Saudi Arabia is shifting its security umbrella away from Washington and toward Pakistan's nuclear deterrent, with Iran's blessing. He says Pakistani leaders fly to Riyadh this week to take it further. Where it lands is the question. Pepe thinks Israel will try to wreck this deal relentlessly. The MOU holding depends on one thing: whether Washington actually wants it to. Pepe Escobar

🇸🇦🇮🇷 Saudis privately guaranteed Iran gets every dollar owed, even if Trump says no. Geopolitical Analyst Pepe Escobar broke the details, confirmed by two separate sources. "Saudi Arabia personally backstops the $12 billion owed to Iran. If Trump says no, this is beyond huge." The grand total isn't 12 billion. It's 24, paid out in two phases, and Riyadh just told Tehran they're covered. Pepe Escobar

🇮🇷 Iran’s new leadership is moving to consolidate its regional network, from Yemen and Hezbollah to Iraq and a developing Syrian resistance. Pepe Escobar claims Tehran has already sent a message through Turkey to Damascus: stay out of Lebanon, or face Iranian missiles and drones. “The Iranians are not like the Russians. They will go for the head of the snake.” If Escobar is right, the next phase of the conflict may be less about a single front and more about Iran reshaping the entire regional battlefield.

🇮🇷 Larry Johnson says claims that Washington controls the Strait of Hormuz are "nonsense." According to Johnson, Qatar and Pakistan remain the key intermediaries between the U.S. and Iran, with no direct negotiations taking place. He also argues Tehran is in no rush to reach a deal and is willing to wait while limited shipping continues through the Strait. "There really hasn't been a sit down with the Iranians and the United States... talking directly to each other." SonofNewAmericanRevolution

🚨🇷🇺🇨🇳 RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE QUIETLY POWERING IRAN’S WAR Pepe Escobar says Moscow is running a covert supply corridor to Tehran while China tracks U.S. military movements with a surveillance ship in the Sea of Oman. The intelligence is fed directly to Iran through Chinese satellites, helping guide strikes across the region while Beijing keeps its own shipping lanes open. Pepe Escobar

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN JUST GOT A MORE RADICAL LEADER Pepe Escobar says the new supreme leader Khamenei is deeply tied to the Revolutionary Guard and expected to push the Islamic Revolution even harder. He says instead of collapsing the regime, the strikes united the country, with massive crowds already rallying behind the new leader in Tehran. Pepe Escobar

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Pepe Escobar claims Trump has revived a backchannel to Iran's IRGC, allegedly offering billions to senior officials in exchange for turning against the government. The reported strategy: divide Iran's leadership from within. But Escobar argues Washington may be making a fundamental miscalculation about who it's dealing with. “You play divide and rule with your enemies.” The question is whether that playbook works against an Iranian state built around resistance, sovereignty and confrontation with foreign pressure. If the report is accurate, Washington isn't simply negotiating with Tehran, but basically trying to change who runs it. Pepe Escobar

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington still doesn't understand asymmetric war, and Iran just proved it. Pepe Escobar broke down exactly how Iran avoided the Gulf of Tonkin trap, hitting UAE targets instead of U.S. warships to maximize pressure without giving America justification to escalate. "Since Vietnam, they haven't learned shit It's mind-boggling." Pepe Escobar

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE COWARD QUOTIENT NATO’S IMPOSSIBLE DILEMMA Trump is publicly attacking NATO as a paper tiger for refusing to help open the Strait of Hormuz after he triggered the closure. Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar notes that European leaders were never even consulted about a war that has now cut off their vital Qatari gas supplies. NATO finds itself trapped between a suicidal U.S policy and an energy crisis with nowhere left to turn. Pepe Escobar

"The only opportunity Trump has for a decent off ramp is if he listens to Putin, because Putin can talk to him and can talk to Mojtaba directly and maybe try to find some measure." Brent crude hit $119. Pepe says that number could go up quickly with the way things are going. Pepe Escobar

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The IRGC doesn't do back channels, and that changes everything when Trump is the one in power. Pepe Escobar suggested it's time for the U.S. to recognize that its blockade is a "joke" that has no chance of solving the Hormuz problem. He argued the only solution is a difficult process of diplomacy that Trump has mismanaged at every turn. "The Americans didn't game anything. Everything is spur of the moment." Pepe Escobar

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 STRUCTURAL PARALYSIS IRAN’S FOUR VITAL ORGANS DOCTRINE The Iranian military is moving beyond simple retaliation toward a doctrine of structural paralysis designed to choke the life out of its adversaries. Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar details the four vital targets: water desalination, the national power grid, food ports, and energy refineries. By subdivision of warheads, they can now strike eighty different directions at once to ensure total domestic collapse. Pepe Escobar

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: There are no talks with the U.S., which is sending messages through different mediators. The exchange of messages via mediators does not mean negotiation with the U.S. Top authorities are reviewing the offered proposals, but Tehran has no intention to hold talks with the U.S. Iran is not seeking a war and demands a permanent end to the conflict, and compensation for destruction. The U.S. failed in its war goals, including a quick victory and regime change. My message to the neighboring countries: distance yourselves from the U.S. We will target American interests wherever we find them, and any country that hosts them is considered a legitimate target.
