BREAKING-PEPE : Why Iran US Signing Moves to VERSAILLES -Is US–Iran Signing Vanishing?

The US–Iran signing was supposed to happen in Geneva. Instead it reportedly moved to Versailles overnight — and according to sources cited in this episode, the reason was a credible assassination threat against Iran's delegation. Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break down what their sources at the table are saying about the Iran–US MOU, the Strait of Hormuz red line, Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon, and a reported Monday deadline that could trigger Iranian retaliation within 72 hours. In this special edition of Transition Protocol, we connect the dots between Iran's claimed “strategic victory,” the threat to close the Strait of Hormuz (and what that means for global oil prices), Iran's reported readiness to pursue a North Korea–style nuclear path, and Pakistan's elevated role as power broker — backed in the background by China and Russia. We also examine why sources describe Trump as boxed in, and what choice the White House faces this weekend. Source note: Pepe Escobar is a veteran geopolitical analyst covering Eurasia and the multipolar world order; Zulfiqar Ali brings reporting sourced through Pakistani and Iranian channels. Some claims in this episode are source-based and developing — we flag verification status on-screen and present them as attributed reporting, not confirmed fact. Transition Protocol is a serious, source-driven geopolitical analysis channel.#Iran #Hormuz #Trump #Israel #IranUSDeal #StraitOfHormuz #OilShock #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #PepeEscobar #BRICS #MultipolarWorld #Pakistan #IranNuclear #worldnews •0:00 — Why the Iran–US Signing Vanished •0:45 — Versailles, Not Geneva: The Hidden Reason •02:30 — Why This Is NOT a Routine Ceasefire Story •03:18 — The Assassination Threat at the Table •04:48 — Iran's Red Line: “We Break It Twice as Hard” •07:12 — Why the Supreme Leader Almost Refused to Sign •09:34 — Is the MOU Dead on Arrival?
