Pepe Escobar: 12 Ballistic Missiles Struck a US Major Airbase (Jordan)

In this urgent update, we dive deep into the escalating US-Iran conflict and the collapse of back-channel diplomacy. Despite intense mediation by regional powers, Washington has chosen endless war, expanding the theater to Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

We analyze Iran's "escalation dominance," the unified Axis of Resistance, and Israel's failing operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah. Plus, we examine how interconnected forever wars in West Asia and Ukraine threaten a global economic crash, while the US administration's rhetoric destroys its remaining soft power.

Tune in for unfiltered intel and a stark warning about the razor's edge of global conflict.
