Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Radar Brief episode of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a major update on the war with Iran as Tehran breaks the ceasefire and launches fresh attacks on U.S. Navy destroyers, Arab allies, and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the White House to escalate its new "Project Freedom" operation.
He explains how the USS Truxtun and USS Mason successfully pushed through sustained Iranian missile, drone, and speedboat attacks while protecting U.S.-flagged cargo ships, and why President Trump is now weighing whether to retaliate militarily or continue the dangerous balancing act of reopening global commerce while tightening Iran's economic chokehold. Bryan warns that this moment could define the next phase of the war and the global economy.
He also breaks down the rapidly rising cost of oil, gasoline, and diesel as California receives its last Middle Eastern crude shipment before supply shortages hit harder across the West Coast, Europe, and Asia. With Goldman Sachs warning of shrinking global reserves and possible $150-per-barrel oil by June, Bryan explains why the Pentagon is racing to keep the Strait open before Iran can trigger a wider economic crisis.
Plus, Bryan highlights a major Medicaid fraud investigation tied to Somali-run "home health" schemes in Ohio that could become a major Republican midterm issue, and new reporting tying the deadly Palisades fire arsonist in California to radical anti-capitalist ideology and admiration for the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer, raising deeper questions about political rhetoric and domestic extremism.
