Pepe Escobar, Zulfiqar Ali: Pakistani Officers – Israel Picks Saudi Targets; MBS Won’t Leave His Bunker
by Transition Protocol [10-13-2026] Pepe Escobar(bio).
Pakistani officers in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh war room say they sit in the same room as CENTCOM and Israeli officers, and that target selection in the war on Yemen is done by CENTCOM and the Israelis. Host Zulfiqar Ali brings their account; Pepe Escobar, from Bangkok after midnight, brings Yemen’s next targets and Iran’s clock.
- 02:49 The next round: Aramco headquarters and King Khalid Airport, according to Pepe Escobar.
- 28:58 Pakistan’s real role: 15 advisers, “not even a team” — per our host’s sources.
- 35:39 Same room: what Pakistani personnel in the war room are reporting home.
What you’ll learn: who sits in Riyadh’s war room and who chooses the targets; what Ansar Allah has said it hits next; why Pakistan and Turkey are staying defensive; what our host’s sources say about MBS’s state of mind; why Iran expects an attack before the 3 November midterms.
Sourcing note: The war-room and MBS reports are our host’s own sourcing from Pakistani military personnel and cannot be independently verified. The “Mossad” and “17 people” remarks are Pepe Escobar’s information; the host said on air he could not report it. The Saudi spokesman’s Eilat statement is as Escobar describes it; we have not located it. Public record: Riyadh airport was attacked on 6–8 October and operations resumed on 9 October; an Aramco facility south of Riyadh burned on 3 October; Turkey’s foreign minister said on 8 October the Mecca pact is “not an offensive agreement”; Pakistan called the New York Times report of PAF strikes “fake and fabricated” on 8 October. An April report said Pakistan had deployed ~10,000 troops to the Yemen border; our host’s sources deny it.
