Ten minutes before we went to air, sources inside the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader told us that Speaker Ghalibaf was discussing Pakistan’s invitation for Iran to become the fourth member of the Mecca Pact — hours before Field Marshal Asim Munir landed in Tehran. In this emergency Sunday broadcast, Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break two source-based bombshells and then work through what Munir is actually carrying into Iran: the collapsed MOU, Scott Bessent’s economic pressure campaign, the terms of any return to talks, the Mecca Pact invitation itself, and Yemen.

In Gaza, thousands of families are unaware of the whereabouts of their loved ones. They remain unsure whether their children, spouses, or parents are being tortured in an Israeli dungeon, have been murdered and kept in a freezer in Israel, or have been buried unidentified in an unmarked grave.

Narrative control has seemingly rendered our societies incapable of distinguishing between ‘explanation’ and ‘justification’. There is overwhelming evidence that Russia has considered NATO expansionism to be the main security threat since the end of the Cold War, and that Russia has considered NATO’s incursion into Ukraine to be an existential threat. Yet, our political-media establishment smears and censors any explanation as “justification”. By doing so, they also criminalise any path toward a political settlement to end the war.

The world is undergoing profound change. For many Americans, this change is intense, overwhelming, and confusing. Many don’t recognize it’s happening due to the pro-US hegemony and empire propaganda blitz they’re fed everyday coupled with the economic and social alienation of material reality in the “USA.” Yet it’s still happening.

Over the past two decades, hardline Ukrainian ultranationalists have waged an ever-escalating war on history at home and abroad, with dramatic, world-changing consequences. In the country itself, a highly repressive legal apparatus is increasingly enforcing dangerously skewed narratives of Kiev’s near and distant past, with excessive criminal penalties even for those who unwittingly fall foul of the law. A brazenly politicised battle, it has become turbocharged since the Ukraine proxy conflict’s eruption. Despite widespread opposition, Kiev’s aggressive ultranationalist offensive on history is only intensifying.

The most important question of social systems is what creates order by managing competing interests? In international security, we must therefore ask the question: How do we manage the competing security interests of states?

Trump’s White House tried to buy off Iran’s Revolutionary Guard with a multi-billion-dollar offer modeled on the Venezuela playbook — and got refused twice, first by IRGC commander Vahidi, who called it treason, and then by Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir, who told Trump directly that Islamabad would not help destabilize Tehran’s leadership. In this episode, Zulfiqar Ali, Pepe Escobar, and Larry Johnson break down the failed bribery attempt, China’s directive to Pakistan to prioritize its Iran relationship, and why the collapse of the US–Iran memorandum of understanding is now pushing Washington toward open discussion of a nuclear strike on Iran.

Behind the polished story of Western progress lies another history: steam power, modern banking, and industrial capitalism were not born of peaceful innovation but paid for with the blood of enslaved people.

The democrats’ backtracking on what they dismissively refer to as “wokeness” is the newest iteration of their political trickery as once again they give the appearance of supporting what they actually oppose. They serve the interests of the oligarchs, and not those of the people.
