BREAKING:IRAN May Just QUIT the Nuclear Treaty NOW -Will Iran Attack US Bases in Iraq Next? WARNING

Iran is reportedly holding back a hidden submarine fleet stored in underwater rock caverns — and the Supreme Leader's office is now seriously considering withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In this Transition Protocol exclusive, geopolitical analyst Vijay Prashad joins host Zulfiqar Ali to break down the true state of the Iran-US ceasefire, why Pakistan's military chief is quietly brokering renewed talks, and why the guest calls this America's 'strategic defeat' in the Middle East. From the Strait of Hormuz to NATO's Turkey summit, this conversation covers the Iran oil shock, Gulf Arab states' private admission that Iran cannot be crushed militarily, and the historic parallel to U.S. failures in Iraq and Afghanistan.
