GVS Deep Dive   The United States is trying to control what the world can see in the Iran conflict. But in doing so, it may have created an opening for China to step in—and take over from space. As American companies like Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs restrict access to satellite data, Chinese firms are rapidly expanding their own capabilities. From high-frequency imaging constellations like Jilin-1 to navigation systems like BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, a parallel system is emerging—one that doesn’t rely on the United States. This video breaks down:     - Why the U.S. is clamping down on open-source intelligence - How China is filling the gap with satellite imagery - The role of space-based intelligence in modern warfare - And why control over information may matter more than control over the battlefield Because this isn’t just about Iran. It’s about who controls what the world sees—and who defines the next global system.     Related:   The rea...

Cyrus Janssen   Last night, events inside the White House sent shockwaves across global markets, raising serious questions about leadership, strategy, and what happens next. At the same time, tensions with Iran are reaching a critical breaking point, with new developments that could reshape the balance of power in the Middle East. 

Geopolitical Economy Report   The US-Israeli war on Iran has caused the largest oil supply shock in history, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Ben Norton explains how the attacks by Trump and Netanyahu, and the ensuing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, have unleashed an energy crisis that could destabilize the global economy.  

Cyrus Janssen   Iran is now charging ships up to $2 million to pass through the Strait of Hormuz - payable in Chinese yuan or crypto. No dollars accepted. Iran is now using the Chinese currency to accept payments and this will change the future of the US Dollar forever!    A discussion about Petrodollar, why Iran choose to use China's currency, how Iran accepts Chinese Yuan payments, and what is in store for the future of the US Dollar.  

Drop Site News     Dr. Sahar Maranlou, Iranian legal scholar and lecturer at the University of London Royal Holloway, made the case that the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is failing on its own terms — and that time is working against Trump, not Iran. She pointed to a recent Financial Times report showing Iranian tanker traffic bypassing restrictions is increasing. The blockade, she says, is “not functioning on the ground” — as Iran adapts through land trade routes and “gray zone” strategies with China and regional neighbors.  

Breaking Points   Krystal and Saagar discuss the White House losing it over intel showing Iran stronger than previously thought militarily.

MintPress News   MintPress News founder Mnar Adley, this essential interview with University of Tehran professor Dr. Setareh Sadeghi reveals the devastating reality of US-Israeli aggression against Iran that corporate media refuses to report. With over 307 medical facilities destroyed in one month, schools bombed, and universities targeted, Iran faces what officials describe as a genocidal campaign. Dr. Sadeghi exposes: • How BBC journalists calling for Iran to be "nuked" are tied to CIA-backed regime change networks • Why Iranian women are leading mass rallies in defense of their nation—not against it • The collapse of Western propaganda as independent Iranian creators go viral worldwide • How Iran's regulation of the Strait of Hormuz is accelerating the petrodollar's decline • UAE's covert complicity in war crimes while positioning itself as a neutral party • Why Russia and China are aligning with Iran against unipolar imperial domination As Trump threatens to ...
