Alex Krainer, Zulfiqar Ali: Will the U.S. and Israel ATTACK Iran Again in 2026? Pakistan’s Nuclear Umbrella’s ROLE
by Transition Protocol [7-4-2026].
(RAD: This is another very important discussion. Alex Krainer was able to explain the tectonic shift that is taking place in the world that we need to be aware of. He also made it clear that there are people above Trump that have been pursuing these very destructive policies for a long time & they will still be active after Trump is out of office. "The West" is very good at destroying things via many different methods, instead of "building" things for the good of humanity. China, Russia, Pakistan & Iran understand the 'game' & what is at stake & why they need to cooperate. This fight will go on until one side or other is defeated, not just militarily. Alex is very good at explaining what is really happening & I encourage you to listen carefully. — RAD)
An assassination plot against Mojtaba Khamenei has moved from planning to the operational stage, according to sources cited on this episode — and Pakistan's military intelligence is actively working to neutralize it. Former hedge fund manager and oil market analyst Alex Krainer joins Transition Protocol to break down what insiders say is coming next: a possible U.S. winter assault on Iran, the staging of an "Iran–Iraq War 2.0," and the plan to partition Iran's oil-rich northwest.
We also cover the leaked British cables that pushed Trump toward war with Iran in 2019, Pakistan's nuclear umbrella quietly extending over Saudi Arabia (with Qatar close behind), the Venezuela destabilization playbook, why Gulf states now see U.S. protection as a paper tiger, the IMF as a geopolitical weapon, and the countdown on the petrodollar as China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan build the multipolar order. Key claims in this episode are source-based and analyst assessments; verification status is flagged throughout.
Guest: Alex Krainer — former hedge fund manager (15 years), former oil market analyst, and author of three banned books on geopolitics, including a treatise on Russia–West relations. Transition Protocol is a source-driven geopolitics channel covering de-dollarization, BRICS and the multipolar world order.
