Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers a wave of Islamist terror attacks across the U.S., including a deadly shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia and a car bombing attempt at a synagogue and daycare in Michigan.
Bryan then turns to the war with Iran, where Tehran has escalated its attacks on oil infrastructure across the Middle East, striking tankers near Iraq, targeting an oil port in Oman, and hitting cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz as energy markets brace for further disruption.
He also reports on U.S. and Israeli strikes inside Iran that are targeting regime forces and infrastructure, new AI-assisted military operations speeding up targeting decisions, and the growing debate in Washington about how long the war will last and what victory might look like.
Finally, Bryan closes the week with some encouraging medical research, including new findings on how exercise can boost memory and brain health, plus emerging science linking gut health to sharper thinking as we age.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32
