Larry Johnson: The Gulf Is Burning – US Bases Hit as Iran Fires Back

This interview analyzes the escalating US-Iran conflict and shifting global power dynamics. It explores why the US backed down from further retaliation, citing severe economic backlash, spiking oil prices, and significant Iranian counterstrikes across the Middle East. 

The discussion highlights the declining relevance of the G20, contrasted with the rising influence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which united China, Russia, India, and others to condemn US actions and sanctions. 

Key topics include the logistical limits of the US military, dwindling missile and drone stockpiles, and Iran’s economic resilience via Belt and Road partnerships. A must-watch for understanding modern global power shifts and the self-destructive path Western nations are taking regarding Ukraine.
