Summary

This is the story behind the story on Trump’s 15 point Peace Plan for Iran and the Strait of Hormuz Blockade with Mike Baker. One month into the joint U.S.-Israel war with Iran, the battlefield tells one story… but the global economy tells another. Militarily, the United States and Israel have overwhelming dominance. Iran’s air defenses are down. Its navy is crippled. Its command structure has been hit hard. Operation Epic Fury is executing with precision. So why does this feel like a stalemate - The Strait of Hormuz Closure Iran has shifted to asymmetric warfare—blockading one of the most critical chokepoints in the world and triggering massive spikes in global energy prices. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: even with the most powerful military on earth, the U.S. cannot simply “take” the Strait without risking a global economic collapse. We walk through: Why the US Military can’t force open the Strait of Hormuz What’s in Trump’s 15 Point Peace Plan for Iran Predictions for what’s next? Who is in charge in Iran - The clerics, IRGC, a new Ayatollah, The president Why protecting oil tankers is nearly impossible What role is does the GCC / Gulf Cooperation Council Play The hidden role of maritime insurance—and why corporations, not governments, may decide if the Strait stays open What is going to happen with Iran’s Terror Proxies - Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah etc. Who comes out on top - Rubio or Vance Then we unpack the reported 15-point peace proposal being floated through backchannels in Pakistan—what the U.S. is demanding from Iran, what’s being offered in return, and why Tehran may already be rejecting it. Is this peace through strength—or a dangerous gamble with global markets? To separate fact from narrative, we’re joined by former CIA covert operations officer Mike Baker, who brings 17 years of intelligence experience to break down what’s actually happening behind the headlines—no spin, no politics, just reality. If you want to understand the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz, oil markets, and what comes next—this is the episode.

But Iran had a backup plan and it is working. They

slammed shut the straight of Hormuz. 20% of the world's oil supply gone overnight. Energy prices

are spiking and the global economy is rattled. Joining us today is Mike Baker. Now, Mike spent 17 years as a CIA covert operations officer,

a premier specialist in counterterrorism, intelligence, and Middle Eastern geopolitics,

and he's going to help us break it all down.

Keeping it real with Jillian Michaels. All right, guys, it's April, 26, and we're now roughly a month into the joint American and Israeli military campaign against Iran.

1:13.0

And right now we're witnessing a dangerous high-stakes stalemate.

1:17.2

So militarily, the Allied coalition has established absolute supremacy.

Over the past few weeks, the U.S. and Israeli stealth platforms have systematically dismantled Iran's integrated air defense system.

1:31.5

We've basically turned their Russian-made S-300 and domestic Bavar-3-73 missile batteries into burning scrap.

1:39.4

The skies are uncontested.

1:41.3

And the coalition then went to work on the sea, right? So the Iranian conventional

1:45.4

navy, along with the IRGC's fast attacks, swarm fleets are effectively neutralized. Their kilo-class

1:51.9

submarines are sunk at the pier in Bandarabas and their coastal missile boats have been turned

into artificial reefs. Precision bunker buster munitions have decapitated the IRGC's senior

leadership and obliterated the command and control hubs that are directing proxy forces across

Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. American air power has comprehensively degraded Iran's conventional

military machine. So from the sky, Operation
