Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a deep strategic briefing on the war with Iran, including new intelligence that the IRGC has fully seized control of the country, sidelining the clerical regime and turning Iran into a military junta.
Bryan explains how Iran is shifting to guerrilla warfare tactics, using drones, sea mines, and disguised vessels to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and pressure global markets, while the U.S. weighs next steps including potential island seizures and securing nuclear material.
He also breaks down President Trump's evolving strategy, including a major shift to allow some Iranian oil to flow in order to stabilize global prices, the lack of international support for naval operations, and what that means for America carrying the burden of the fight.
Finally, Bryan outlines what comes next, from possible terror threats and Red Sea escalation to five scenarios for how the war could end, including a negotiated deal, regional escalation, or Trump declaring victory and stepping back ahead of midterm pressures.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32
