Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Special Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan unpacks Operation Epic Fury - the U.S. and Israeli regime change strike on Iran that has now entered its third day.
Bryan explains how failed peace talks, fresh CIA intelligence, and the arrival of the USS Gerald Ford set the stage for a massive coordinated strike that killed the Ayatollah and dozens of senior Iranian military and political leaders. More than 1,000 targets have reportedly been hit, including missile depots, drone facilities, naval assets, and command centers, while U.S. forces work to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and prevent oil shocks.
But the fallout is already spreading. Iran has launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes across the region, three U.S. service members have been killed in Kuwait, American embassies face unrest abroad, and a deadly terror attack in Austin, Texas has heightened homeland security concerns. Meanwhile, Democrats and some America First voices question the legality and wisdom of the war, as markets react to rising oil prices and analysts weigh China's next move amid tightening global energy supply.
Bryan closes with a sober reflection on regime collapse risks inside Iran, fragile U.S. weapons stockpiles, and the haunting lessons of North Korea - asking whether this moment represents strategic foresight or a dangerous gamble.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:00.0 | It's March 2nd. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:08.0 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.2 | It's a special brief this morning with the war in Iran, now just over 48 hours old, |
| 0:27.0 | with what looks like to be a terror attack on the homeland this morning in Austin, Texas. |
| 0:30.9 | And also, we have Muslim riots in Iraq and Pakistan, operating against our embassies and consulates there, |
| 0:36.9 | with so much to cover this morning on |
| 0:39.1 | events that are shaping America and the world. After months of diplomacy and the last ditch |
| 0:44.8 | ever by the White House last Thursday to avoid this war, President Trump authorized Operation |
| 0:49.9 | Epic Fury on Friday. It's an operation that actually began early Saturday local time in Iran |
| 0:55.2 | to wipe out the country's political and military leadership. In other words, this is not just about |
| 1:00.2 | their nuclear program any longer, with the Ayatollah now dead this morning and President Trump's |
| 1:05.1 | saying that this war could go on for a month. But before we get to the future, let's cover the last week and how that |
| 1:11.9 | sets the stage for everything that is about to come. As Politico and my own sources confirmed |
| 1:18.3 | this morning, the president's envoys to the peace talks with Iran returned from the Middle East |
| 1:22.8 | late last week to relate to President Trump, the bad news, that it was a fool's errand to keep talking to |
| 1:28.3 | the Iranians. They apparently wouldn't budge on their nuclear program in any meaningful way. |
| 1:33.4 | They wanted the right to enrich uranium without any oversight, and they refused offers for |
| 1:38.8 | free-processed uranium from, say, Russia or another source that they trusted. Plus, as the UK's telegraph reports, satellite imaging shows that the Iranian regime |
| 1:48.9 | continued to work secretly to recover their bombed-out nuclear facilities from last summer's |
| 1:53.7 | Operation Midnight Hammer, trying to salvage their highly enriched uranium at about 60%, which, as I |
| 2:00.2 | covered on Friday, is just a few weeks away |
| 2:02.0 | from further enrichment to get to weapons-grade uranium. |
