Hormuz war reset, ‘orchestrated’ attempt on Trump, Iran’s Lego – with Larry Johnson
Published 6 May, 2026 06:30In this episode of East Meets West, we sit down with veteran intelligence analyst Larry Johnson – to pull back the curtain on the strategic maneuvers currently shaping US foreign and domestic policy.
Why does the ‘Project Freedom’ initiative matter, and is it a genuine military objective or a legal loophole to bypass the War Powers Act? We dive deep into the tactical realities of the Strait of Hormuz, exploring why a conventional naval victory against Iran may be a military impossibility.
We also challenge the narrative on the recent security breach involving Donald Trump: Was this event a genuine threat or a meticulously orchestrated political narrative?
From Iran’s ‘Lego’ videos to the CIA increasingly relying on foreign intelligence, and from the ‘hollowing out’ of Ukraine to the utility of NATO as a ‘jobs program’ – we analyze the cracks in the current geopolitical order.
