Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with confusion and high stakes in the war with Iran, as U.S. and Israeli forces strike Iranian boats planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz while President Trump's hopes for a quick peace deal appear to be slipping.
He breaks down Iran's shifting demands over Strait "fees," enriched uranium, and negotiations slowed by the injured Ayatollah's reported isolation, while warning that Arab nations, Israel, and the White House are not fully aligned on what comes next. Bryan also covers a major Russian warning for Americans to leave Kiev ahead of possible large-scale strikes, and connects Moscow's effort to "break the spirit" of Ukrainians to broader concerns about political and spiritual warfare at home.
Plus, Bryan highlights new U.S. defense production in Alabama as the country tries to replenish missile-defense stockpiles, digs into the Communist funding network tied to Neville Roy Singham, Hasan Piker, CodePink, and rising socialist candidates, and calls out flawed climate models after UN scientists admit their worst-case projection is now considered implausible. He closes with good medical news on grip strength, depression, creatine, and simple diet choices that support strength, recovery, and long-term health.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:00.0 | It's May 26th. I'm Brian Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, and this is The Wright Report. |
| 0:16.3 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.4 | It's Tuesday's headline brief. Heavy on News, light on analysis, launching us in two new week with events that as ever are shaping America in the world. |
| 0:31.6 | We begin this morning with global news, starting with a state of confusion in this war with Iran. We start first with breaking news from |
| 0:41.1 | late yesterday. The U.S. and Israel hit Iranian speedboats that were deploying mines in the Strait of |
| 0:46.4 | Pormuz. The two allies then also struck missile launch sites nearest Lerak Island in the |
| 0:52.1 | straits waters. As NBC news reports, the Pentagon, though, is saying |
| 0:55.9 | that these strikes were only taken as defensive measures arguing that the ceasefire with Iran |
| 1:01.1 | is still totally and completely intact, to which Iranian media more or less agreed. |
| 1:08.3 | They recognized the strikes but said that everything is under control and |
| 1:11.3 | there is no cause for concern. But wait a minute, we had strikes by the U.S. and Israel on Iranian |
| 1:17.7 | targets, but wait, everything's fine still and the ceasefire is normal? Well, that's kind of a little |
| 1:22.6 | bit confusing, which is sort of par for the course from the weekend's advance. Let's dive into the confusion. |
| 1:28.8 | As Reuters, Axios, the Wall Street Journal, NBC News, and Japanese press report, |
| 1:34.0 | President Trump started the weekend with some pretty high hopes. He posted a social media |
| 1:39.2 | that a deal to end the war with Iran would be announced shortly and that the final |
| 1:43.7 | touches were being buttoned down |
| 1:45.4 | likely no later than Sunday, which is when we would have a big announcement. Indeed, Pakistan's |
| 1:51.1 | military chief, he was on board with that. He was in Iran on Saturday helping to button down |
| 1:56.9 | those final touches. And then came Sunday and everybody started dialing back the good cheer. |
| 2:03.2 | That is when President Trump said that while there has been some progress, he is in no rush for a deal, |
| 2:08.7 | adding that a final agreement was some long period or time away, to which Iran's top negotiator |
