Pepe Escobar, Danny Haiphong: Iran’s Missile Bombshell STUNS Trump, Russia & BRICS Step In
by Danny Haiphong [1-19-2026] Pepe Escobar(bio).
(RAD: Trump "needs a win" for his ego, yet that hasn't happened with Venezuela & he had to call off this latest attack on Iran & the Gaza situation isn't going very well. The Iranians have made it clear that this could drag on for a few months if they are attacked & they could inflict serious damage on Israel & US in the area, so this wouldn't be a quick win that Trump wants. He is intent on a regime change, yet the Iranians clearly understand this and are on high alert 24/7. Furthermore, both Russia & China know how important Iran is to the north/south & east/west corridors of trade for BRICS. Now Trump is focused on Greenland to get his "win". Natostan people are freeking out about Iran & Greenland, but can't say anything because of Trump. Trump knows that he can't tackle BRICS directly through Russia & China, so he is trying to go after some of the smaller BRICS members. — RAD)
Even as US naval assets and fighter jets deploy to the Middle East, Iran's defiant stand against Trump has delayed a US attack, and the empire of chaos is getting desperate. Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar joins to dive deep into the massive implications of the latest war drive against Iran and its impact on the region, Russia & BRICS.
