Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday’s Headline Brief. Today’s episode delivers rapid-fire coverage of the top global and domestic developments shaping America and the world.

FBI Monitors Iranian Sleeper Cells as War with Israel Escalates
The FBI increases surveillance of suspected Hezbollah operatives inside the U.S., fearing possible terror plots as Israel continues strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The false report of a hit on Iran’s Bushehr plant sparked regional panic, though other key nuclear sites have been damaged.

Israel Eyes Fordow Strike as U.S. Prepares Stealth Bomber Option
Israeli commandos may attempt a daring assault on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Meanwhile, the U.S. considers launching B-2 stealth bombers from Diego Garcia. The base’s new lease with China-friendly Mauritius complicates disclosure requirements, raising diplomatic concerns.

Peace Talks Stall as Trump Warns Iran and Public Opinion Backs Action
Trump’s updated peace offer was rejected by Iran. Polling shows 75% of Americans support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, even if force is necessary. However, some polls show less support for direct U.S. involvement.

Trump Withdraws More U.S. Troops from Syria
American forces are being consolidated to a single base, with local allies stepping in to fill the gap. The reduction reflects Trump’s goal of letting regional players secure their own territory.

Panama Sides with China on Canal Ports
A Chinese state-owned consortium will take over port operations on both ends of the Panama Canal, rejecting a U.S.-backed bid. The White House is expected to respond next week to this strategic setback.

Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline in Violation of Law
Despite a congressional mandate, Trump grants another 90-day extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok. Legal challenges are expected, though both parties are hesitant to anger young voters.

Democrat Governors Cut Off Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants
Budget overruns in California, Illinois, and Minnesota are forcing Democrat leaders to scale back health coverage for undocumented migrants. The cuts reveal higher-than-expected migrant numbers and usage, raising questions about official immigration estimates.

Portland Decline Mirrors Leftist Unrest
Antifa violence continues in Portland, with attacks on ICE facilities and widespread downtown decay. Court documents cite homeless encampments and drug use inside landmark buildings like the U.S. Bancorp Tower, now for sale at an 80% loss.

Poll: Democrats Losing Christian Voters Nationwide
A new poll shows Christians across denominations overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party. While Black Christians remain a core base, overall trust is eroding fast, especially in light of cultural and moral concerns.

Trade War Hits Canada, Spares Mexico
U.S.-Canada trade fell by 10.5% in May, while Mexico saw only a 2.8% drop. Analysts point to Mexico’s more diplomatic tone with Trump compared to Canada’s confrontational approach.

New U.S. Battery Could End Dependence on China
A Boston firm, Pure Lithium, is developing a battery that avoids Chinese-dominated minerals and uses lithium from Arkansas. The company could receive $300 million in federal backing to scale production.

It's June 20th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report.

0:12.5

Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast.

0:23.0

It's Friday's headline brief, heavy on news, lighter on analysis, launching us into the weekend with events that, as ever, are shaping America and the world.

0:33.3

We begin with global news this morning, starting with the war in Iran, with an update, though,

0:38.5

that is quite close to home. CBS News reports that the FBI has increased surveillance of

0:43.6

suspected Iranian operatives inside of the United States. FBI director Kash Patel has

0:49.0

upped his efforts to monitor possible domestic sleeper cells, those are the guys that might

0:53.9

be linked to Iran's Hezbollah group.

0:56.2

That is a foreign terror organization backed by the Iranian regime.

1:00.4

This threat has been known and monitored for years, leading to some arrest over those years.

1:05.1

In fact, we've talked about a few of them on the podcast.

1:08.3

But in other cases, the evidence on these guys has not been convincing enough

1:11.9

for either an arrest or a likely conviction. So the FBI and the CIA have monitored these people

1:17.7

and their ties back to Iran's IRGC, which runs these sleeper cells. And not only the United

1:23.4

States, by the way, but also Latin America and Europe too. In fact, you may recall that we talked

1:28.2

about back in May a sleeper cell in London. It was just hours away from a terror attack when they were,

1:33.2

thank God, wrapped up. If you remember, they had come into that country as illegal aliens or

1:39.4

asylum seekers as their cover. And that is what the FBI is now trying to monitor in this country,

1:45.5

either the known or likely has-washed sleeper cells that they've been watching for years,

1:49.1

or the possibility of the some of the 9 million-plus Biden illegals who may now be Iranian

1:56.4

saboteurs. More to come on that. Meanwhile, back in Iran this morning, the war continues with a big

nuclear scare yesterday. Reuters reports that an Israeli military official told press that they
