We sit down with Larry Johnson to map what Tehran is demanding, why Washington looks desperate for an exit plan, and how a single chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz, can squeeze the global economy. If ships need to pay a steep user fee to move in and out of the Persian Gulf, the story instantly becomes bigger than battlefield headlines: it\u2019s oil prices, shipping risk, inflation pressure, and a potential global recession.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[Guest] Larry Johnson: Are Russia, China and Iran the Big Winners of Trump and Netanyahu\u2019s War\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y3PWPy20KmQ\" width=\"1076\" height=\"605\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nWe also pressure-test Trump\u2019s public posture that Iran \u201chas no cards\u201d against the hard constraints on escalation. We talk through why naval and ground options look limited, why crossing the nuclear line would be globally destabilizing, and how sanctions and frozen assets have become the real bargaining table. Larry lays out a plausible face-saving deal where sanctions are lifted, assets are released, and Iran returns to JCPOA-style enrichment limits and intrusive inspections, while still refusing to surrender its core rights.<\/p>\n<p>Then we widen the lens to the alliance and war system around it: NATO strain, Israel\u2019s growing political backlash, and what the Middle East focus means for Ukraine as Russia advances and Western air defense and missile inventories run thin. If you\u2019re searching for clear geopolitical analysis on Iran negotiations, the Strait of Hormuz, US foreign policy, NATO cohesion, and the future of Ukraine, this conversation connects the dots.
